Originally, and perhaps at the time this "backdoor" was created, Skype wasn't Microsoft.
Skype was around for along time before Microsoft bought it and changed its architecture and design.

Skype was already under pressure from European authorities at the time, to provide intercept capabilities; European criminal networks (mafia etc) were early adopters and everybody knew it.
