Having attended an ISO C++ meeting and hearing the very constructive dialogue between the various compiler teams and vendors, I am not that pessimistic. I believe they are trying to prove that they can be interoperable with other implementations, allowing you to use Visual Studio to build Clang/GCC projects if you so desire, which helps the ecosystem of C++ as a whole. If Microsoft only needed this for an internal tool for building Edge, they would have no need to go through the difficulty of releasing it to the public and having to support it.
