What about forcing Windows upgrades? What about endemic telemetry with no/constant-shifting off switches? What about dark patterns to all but force folks to create a online account? The first big tech co to jump in bed with the NSA?

None of that is about their relationship to open source.

There are still lots of reasons to dislike Microsoft, but their interaction with open source has dramatically improved in the last 10-20 years.
