Killing the ability for users to easily create GUI based programs certainly counts as platform sabotage in my book. There was no Windows yet on PC, and Microsoft Basic for Mac gave you almost no ability to create programs that took advantage of the Mac UI. You were limited to creating text based programs on a system that was all about having acess to a graphical user interface. It's pretty easy to see why Microsoft didn't want Basic programmers on the Mac to be able to do more advanced things than Basic programmers could do on DOS based computers.
