Well, as I tried to allude to, in those cases Apple or Google would file a motion to compel Microsoft to disclose the info. Is it even possible under the rules of civil procedure for Microsoft to file a motion to compel itself to disclose something? Again, I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that a judge isn't going to hear the argument if there's no case, even if Microsoft did want the same level of scrutiny.

Yeah, the general rule is that you can't sue yourself, since you can't collect any damages.
