Initially when Satya took over many were oblieged to use Macs and Linux, exactly because they had to ensure their services also worked great on them, and that there as a culture shift beyond Windows one and only.

The problem is that this kind of backfired, and nowadays they also seem unable to hire new devs, outside game developers, that actually know what developing native Windows applications, and OS services actually means in practice.

Even though Microsoft nowadays is more open, I miss the "Developers, Developers, Developers" mindset on the Windows development team.
