They're not trying to burn the frog but boil it slowly.

This is just another one of a series of small steps.

its absurd, and you're slandering a bunch of free software devs who care quite deeply about security and user safety, in service of a total conspiracy theory that quite frankly comes across as trolling. Good luck with that. If by chance you are in fact sincere I have no idea what even to tell you, its just a batshit crazy notion. But odds are strong that you know exactly what you're doing, so, keep at it I guess, whatever winds your clock.

People thought Stallman was a crazy conspiracy theorist back then. Now you'd have to be quite strongly brainwashed to not see how prescient he was.

trolling, trolling, trolling, keep them doggies rolling, rawhide!

You're not crazy. The attacks that Microsoft (and others) are most worried about are attacks from their own customers.
