IME, it's the status quo. We all would do well to keep that in mind whenever we read something they write, listen to an interview or speech they give, or get their "wisdom" repeated to us second- or third-hand.
Maybe this is why execs love LLMs a little too much? It's probably not unconnected at the very least.
Are LLMs slowly evolving to be more appealing to narcissistic personalities?
Given the dynamics here that could be the main selection pressure on them.

You seem to think this guy is going to go ask Nadella "hey, did you read my blog post?"
I'm more thinking of the people under him reading this and taking onboard how fawningly one talks about one's manager in this company.
If this sticks, before long no one will be able to say anything other than flattery, and critical thinking is over.
