> Do you have a single example of them being openly hostile?

The spyware literally built into Win 10 - and backported to previous windows - which can't be disabled without third party products?

To me, that's openly hostile to everyone. Note - "everyone" includes developers. I'm not sure why many people seem to give MS a free pass on this. :/

I'm not sure why everyone pretends this is an MS thing and not an industry thing :/

Is it really an industry thing? There do seem to be several large bad actors at present (MS being one of them), and but not sure it really extends to most of the IT industry.

Maybe you're meaning some non-IT industry? eg Marketing?
