Seems like a mistake to me. Microsoft recently adopted one of my Open Source projects and part of the agreement was they would keep the original license. This was a request on their part, I had no choice in the matter. They know what they're doing, I don't think they would do this deliberately. (Licence here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-gradle/blob/main/LICENSE...)

Microsoft is not a person. And, by its size, is not a single entity with homogeneous values and procedures.

You interacted with one part of Microsoft, maybe we are seeing the works of another part.

Sure, could be. I guess i'd expect Microsoft to have company-wide processes and practises when working with OSS though. Could be wishful thinking.
