Microsoft has not proven to be a good faith steward of their own open-source projects in the 'new days', though.

See https://isdotnetopen.com/ and especially the recent controversies with Omnisharp ( https://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2022/06/16/csharp-... ).

See also the first snobby, then underhanded, then petulant behavior of the Windows Terminal maintainers recently with respect to some performance improvements: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31284419

It's very reasonable to be skeptical of Microsoft's relationship to open-source in 2022, even as we might also feel positively about some aspects of their new open-source strategy.

This just corporate open source as a whole. I don't know what else he expected. You don't participate in open source with the big boys if you expect a quick response or you expect to get any kind of non-trivial credit for something. It is not you who is paying the bills. No reason to be skeptical about it, this is how the game is played.
