Very simply, most of the value of Open Source is being collected by major tech conglomerates leasing computing that's freely running OSS software without cost or licensing, of which they're the #2 biggest collector & thanks to the multi-billion in Infrastructure costs + natural lock-in their oligopoly business is protected ad infinitum.
So of course they love OSS now that Azure is one of their largest money printers, it's no longer a threat & they've become one of the biggest beneficiaries of it.
