  This is true but I always felt like there was an ulterior motive behind it.

  Like wow all of a sudden MicroSoft cares about open source code and contribution? I always felt like they did it to figure out how add backdoors into stuff somehow but then again I am a paranoid person and always assume the worst with companies in the tech field

    I think their motive was internal usage and classic embrace/extend/extinguish, along with github was generally well liked amongst its users, so maybe gives MS a bit of a boost on that front.

    I can not imagine they knew what was coming with LLMs but I definitely could be wrong.
