I just think there can be a lot of perverse interests at play when a major software vendor also owns the place where all the code lives.
For instance, VSCodium is not available as a native download for M1 processors because GitHub Actions don’t support M1 yet.
Would Microsoft potentially delay supporting CI/CD for M1 because it’s not in their strategic best interest to support Mac as a development platform? It’s not out of the question to imagine this kind of thing could enter their prioritization process
