The nefarious people were probably on a unix system or a windows system. Should we go about and delete their contributors accounts as well?

I’m not at all pro crypto but this enforcement does seem extreme. I do understand that Microsoft is just following the sanctions.

This is disingenuous. It's like responding to someone arguing for gun control with "all the shooters drank water, should we ban that?".

We can argue about the legit/legal uses of Tornado Cash and whether it deserves to be sanctioned - but do so in good faith rather than pretending like it is equivalent to a general purpose tool like Microsoft Windows.

That's a false equivalence and you know it. A browser and a coin mixer have 2 very different core audiences, aiming to do very different things. I don't know anyone who has legitimate uses for a coin mixer other than laundering/covering their tracks.
