The issue is that the way it's presented in the article, a layman would interpret it to mean Microsoft don't use null values anywhere in any aspect of their software. Not as "we use them all the time pervasively but would like to do so a bit less", which is what was actually meant.

We'll have to disagree about the accuracy of legacy vs other forms of media. Many of the best investigations I've ever read have been by independents on Substack, for instance.
