How is WSL an example of EEE? Other than adding a few things like the ability to navigate the Windows filesystem from WSL, they have really done nothing in the way of extending or extinguishing.

If anything is classic EEE of what you listed it’s GitHub, given it’s basically a series of extensions on an open standard. Its Linux EEE program is Azure where Microsoft sells you a Linux server running in its datacenter in fancy ways that lock you in.

I feel Microsoft’s monopoly around development is not that strong and it’s not terribly hard to completely avoid them.
