I ascribe "neutral" to technology. VSTS supports every major platform/OS and the tools are on par for all of them.

Unfortunately, the company that owns it profits from Windows sales and doesn't profit from any other OS.
They profit from Linux. They host it on azure and have their own distribution.
They profit from hosting Linux VMs on Azure and Office for Mac.
By "neutral" people mean politically neutral (as in no affiliation with anybody). There is a big chance Google will start using their own hosting platform again for all their code. Same with other Microsoft competitors.
That's not how big companies work. Netflix hosts all of it's infrastructure on AWS and competes with Amazon Prime Video. Google pays Apple $2 billion a year to be the default search engine on iOS and Apple hosts part of iCloud on Google Cloud Platform.
Microsoft and Google work together on Angular and Typescript.
Apple buys components from Samsung while at the same time suing them.
The Fire TV stick competes with the AppleTV but Amazon Prime is available on iOS devices - including the Wpple TV3 that doesn't have an App Store.
Who do you trust more not to abandon git hosting? A Microsoft owned GutHub or any replacement that Google conned up with?
