They saw that developers are eager enough to do Microsoft's work for free. See .NET Core and its related projects where Microsoft accepts a lot of patches from outside contributors and sometimes needs to admit that others know their code and its sometimes decade old history better than they do.

Trying to get a bug in .Net 1.x fixed was not a pleasant or completely legal experience (peaking into .net assemblies, and decompiling to even get the to root of the issue). Even if I only ever had to do it once... having the option is much better than not.
