I don't know why but Microsoft programmers seem to make bizarre code choices. I worked with a lot of principal developers in my life but the ones from Microsoft wrote the most convoluted code I have ever seen. Even though it's anecdotal I wonder what is going on in the culture that Microsoft keeps producing these shabby programs all over the place. Casey has also spoken out about the horrible state of affairs in Microsoft in the past https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27728177 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27728177 so I'm sure it's not a one off phenomena.
