Microsoft was using Embrace Extend, and Destroy against Linux 25 yrs ago when it was a blip compared to MS.
This tactic is designed to be used against potential opponents before they become a real threat.

It costs peanuts to eliminate a weed in your yard when it first sprouts.
It also gets the jump on your neighbours who might be interested in this little weed as well.
Also you can’t have unmonetized weeds popping up everywhere they might inject colour and variety into your barren add riddled hellscape.
