Unless you are strictly talking next quarter’s immediate profits/stock price, this is just bad for Microsoft. They are sabotaging their already anticompetitive golden goose.
Late Stage Capitalism dictates they’d try to keep their lock-in, but this is more executive dysfunction.

I mean…yeah. I said maximize profits, not long term sustainability. Executive bonuses are based on this quarter’s stock price.
The dysfunction comes from incentives to act badly. What makes it “Late Stage” is the complete lack of thought for the future.
