People use Microsoft open source stuff, definitely. It's fairly often decent or better.
But Microsoft's most consistent legacy across its entire existence has been Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Any Linux-supporting project is directly opposed to their core business, aside from Azure - if it starts becoming a threat, they'll turn it into a way to force people onto their other money-makers.
And so the broken record takes another turn...
When the broken record keeps predicting the future accurately, it's not claiming to be the next Nostradamus. History just repeats pretty consistently.
By this logic we should drop Golang immediately then because tomorrow Google will either kill it or they will add unremovable telemetry that uploads all of your code directly to AdSense.
