Every time I see the “Microsoft <3 open source” stuff I get really suspicious, and this kinda confirms that I’m right to be. I’m grateful of their more open culture these days (dotnet alone is a big achievement) ... but I feel like there’s been a number of incidents like these which snap me back to reality and remind me they’re really just paying lip service to the idea and don’t truly buy into open source.

Microsoft is a public traded company. You can safely assume that anything they do is really about generating value for shareholders. Of course they don't "love open source". But they probably love what it does for them (e.g. enable them to run Azure).
