Microsoft is one of the more loathed companies for what they’ve already done, never mind what they do now. I’m not sure where you’re getting “minimal scrutiny” from, except as another attempt to mitigate an understandable reaction to Google’s “winning” combination of hypocrisy and dominance.

I don’t know about you but I challenge every MSFT employee I know about the moral gymnastics involved in working for the largest software vendor defense contractor. Battleships run Windows. It made me really sad when they bought GitHub.

Same for Amazon, who runs a whole racist region (GovCloud) which only employs US citizens.
