And what permissively licensed software did Microsoft apply this policy to, exactly? Or is it just an unfounded fear?

Read the link. It has a moderately-sized list of examples from Microsoft. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend_and_extinguish...
I could not find a single example of "permissively licensed software" in there. Nor do in think one exists. Remember, this is the Microsoft that would not touch open source with a 10-foot pole.

MS did embrace and extend standards, but that is a very different thing from code.

Kerberos. back in 2000.
