I assume this quote in particular?

> Typescript, Visual Studio Code, GitHub, npm, and so much more exist primarily because Microsoft executives believe this will lead to more business for Azure and other Microsoft offerings.

I don't think its a conspiracy theory to think Microsoft releases their tools with the intention of people using their paid platforms/services. But the original person I replied to definitely thinks the author of the blog post is implying something insidious, which they don't seem to be.

Reminder that the article was good and there is a lot of truth in it.

Also, never trust Microsoft.
