I love it how Russians paid Microsoft to make Russian search engine default in Ukraine, without asking Ukrainians, and nobody in Microsoft thought there's anything wrong with that.

Unitedstatians from Google pay Unitedstatians from Apple to make Google default search engine for all of the world, without asking anyone, do you consider this a problem too?
Russian government != Yandex. They did business in Ukraine and worldwide. Don't see the reason why Microsoft or any other enterprise would need to consult the nation as a whole on which business decision to take.
