It's not a uniquely YC thing. Every major company did this well at some point.

Microsoft is in that sweet spot where they're big enough to fund whatever they want, but not FAANG-tier, which tends to attract political types.

Microsoft is the same size as the biggest companies in FAANG and the office politics are notoriously pretty competitive.
They also pay better than Amazon and have (or had based on recent blind reviews) excellent WLB
MSFT is second biggest FAANG right after Apple and significantly ahead of #3, wtf?
