Kinda hard to explain this concept to executives who have made their entire careers based off of dumb decisions like this. Problem is these execs never get fired or laid off, and instead get promoted upwards until all of Microsoft is doing the dumbest thing imaginable to their name. These people have never had consequence before, so are now destined to place those consequences on the company that's kept them woefully employed.
