Random, entirely baseless speculation: they want all to put all your code to do machine learning on. Seems like ML based code checking and refactoring tools are slowly becoming a thing. Imagine an assistant that tells you something like "what you are writing right now might be bad code because 80% of similar instances were later modified based on bug reports and this is how that would look like for your code"

So maybe we should create a bunch of private Github repos and fill them with spurious 'good code' and spurious 'bad code'?
That would be cool. Microsoft has already made a plugin for Visual Studio that trains on your code to improve IntelliSense code completion.
