I think their motive was internal usage and classic embrace/extend/extinguish, along with github was generally well liked amongst its users, so maybe gives MS a bit of a boost on that front.

I can not imagine they knew what was coming with LLMs but I definitely could be wrong.

Oh and they offer it to businesses so it's another feather in their MS365 ecosystem cap.
