Yeah I think it's always fine to use the most expedient tool for the job. Personally, when I am choosing what to invest my time in, I would rather choose FOSS tools which I know to be independent of corporate interests. I admit it's a somewhat abstract risk, but what makes me hesitant about proprietary tools is not any one thing, but how you can gradually get embedded in a proprietary workflow. Maybe now it's only remote/ssh, but maybe next you're using some feature that's built on top of that, and a year down the road you're in a position where you would have to refactor your whole project structure and CI setup to use a different set of tools, and maybe convince your team to do the same. And maybe it's a bit philosophical, but I'm not wild about how MS and others blur the lines between what's open and what's proprietary.
