It seems that the argument that Microsoft will use is that their use of copyrighted code is actually fair use. If it's fair use, they're free to ignore your license that tells them they can't train Copilot on it.
Ultimately, copyright is a fiction that's created and protected by the government. A lawsuit is how we decide what is legally protected or not by copyright.

Ultimately, we don't want a blanket ban or approval for MSFT to use FOSS code. License can help make it possible to have nuance and a case by case basis.
