You're anthropomorphizing a company. Microsoft has not become a shitty company. It's the people working there, that have been told to do certain things by some other people, who also work there but who so decide. At no time it's a one man decision like "we become shitty _ tomorrow". It's a decision met by looking at corporate data and future prospects.. all done beneath the umbrella of shareholder satisfaction and value. It's up to you to participate, like the one guy who sued Tesla not to pay musks compensation package. So, the question "why they're doing what they do" and to understand the answer to this question is more important than telling HN, obviously in rage mode, that something has become shitty .. Peace.
