I won't "defend" Microsoft in this case, but I am always annoyed by phrases like "world's biggest billion-dollar businesses... bablah".

Their size or past misbehaviors shouldn't be relevant to this discussion. Bringing those up feels a bit like an ad hominem. Whether criticism is valid should depend entirely on how GitHub Actions actually works and how it compares to similar services.

Ad hominem applies to people. Corporations aren’t people, and ICs aren’t corporations.

Microsoft's past behavior _may_ explain *why* there is a lack of investment in Github Actions; so yes, TheFeelz are relevant.

Then I agree with this. But still feel their size is irrelevant.

		Their size is relevant in so far as it allows them to make really any investment they want to in GHA without it causing a cash flow problem.

If the past misbehaviours are exactly the same shape, there's not all that much point re-hashing the same discussion with the nouns renamed.
