That never was a goal of Microsoft. Their goal is to get Microsoft apps, technology, and development toolsets embedded everywhere, and to a large extent, they have already succeeded in that. Projects like .NET Core, SQL Server on Linux, Visual Studio Code, Windows IoT, all have cross-pollinated to the Linux world and have gotten Linux, macOS, and ARM hardware users to adopt Microsoft technologies. All those investments drive usage of other Microsoft services which results in more revenue for Microsoft, which is all they ever wanted.
