By a certain subset of people. I think the perception of Microsoft in the tech community has become oddly polarised.
On one hand you have developers and power-users who use Windows and care about privacy. And a probably much tinier number who don't use Windows but care enough about other people's privacy.
On the other hand you have all the web/JS/FOSS tech folk on Linux and macOS - these OSes have pretty tiny usage stats over all but I'd guess relatively high within that community - who don't care so much about Windows and as such just see the positive results of their FOSS efforts.
I wonder who's winning...
