Microsoft has also been one of Linux' top contributors. The old days are over, and the shift has been from selling a product to selling a service and making sure those open source projects work best on your service. Ironically both Elasticsearch and Redis didn't like this in spite of having dedicated AWS employees contributing to their projects. At least Microsoft and AWS have a financial incentive to maintaining open source.
