It's Microsoft. Just as the Apple of today is not the Apple of ten years ago, the GitHub today is not the GitHub of ten years ago. It's literally different people.

The people who made the things you love have mostly moved on, and the brand is being run by different people with different values now.

There's a little bit of an argument that such things are a bait-and-switch, but such is the nature of a large and multigenerational corporation.

The Microsoft of today isn't the Microsoft of 10 years ago, either, but that doesn't stop anyone from assuming that today's Microsoft is the same as the Microsoft of 10 years ago.

the logic people use to blame Microsoft is intense, man. literally any logical leap is valid except one that absolves Microsoft of anything, no matter how small.

the number of times the Microsoft-haters are just straight-up factually wrong in their justifications for their complaints is way too high for me to trust them ever again in my life.
