Sure, there’s still examples of cutthroat behavior. But mostly, I think people forget how bad it was before. Consider this: Microsoft is no longer trying to snuff out other browsers and OS’s, and is now actively building stuff which improves those other platforms. They gave up on the “intentionally flawed web standards implementation” game when they adopted Chromium for Edge. They brought out lots of great cross platform stuff, some of which they open sourced for everyone to use, .Net Core, VSCode, all their Azure SDK’s, etc. All of that stuff would be unthinkable to a person in 2010. You’d never have believed it.
I would agree that the Windows product line is still the most questionable when it comes to screwing people over. I think Win 10 (and 11) are pretty amazing from a technical perspective, but have huge issues when it comes to privacy and also deprecating (or removing) features which I am guessing they figure 90% of users don’t use.
