You make it sound like those two thoughts are incompatible in juxtaposition, but they are in fact perfectly consistent, even if you were correct that Microsoft isn't building anything, as the premise is that users matter more than elbow grease. The reason why you'd want to ask Microsoft is the same reason why you might not bother consulting Firefox: because Microsoft has actual users they represent, and Firefox does not.
Right, sure, but this is a matter of implementation and maintenance burden.
Obviously the people doing nothing aren't a reliable source. They probably want the browser to cook your food and walk your dog, too.
That's why we ask the people actually writing the code that is being used.
