Microsoft's success is largely based on a business strategy of being the dominate player in any market they are in or decide to enter so how would you feel if they attempted to dominant the lite, targeted, agile tool business?
And of course, even more than that, MS's vested interest in developers is in making sure they support the MS OS and application stack, and the best way to do that is to tightly couple all the technologies.
When Steve Ballmer did his famous monkey dance shouting "Developers, Developers, Developers...", do you think he had anyone in mind except developers for Microsoft Windows?
Reality check: Microsoft acts in it's own best interest just as any, for profit, publicly owned company is suppose to do in a free market society.
