I think people should in general put as little trust as possible in corporations. Ensuring your tools, language and platform are as free as possible is a good idea.
Just look at the problematic situation for VS Code extensions by Microsoft, which are non-free.
I can agree with the goal but sadly the corporations have already got their claws deep in the tech stack.
Facebook control React. Google has its hands around Chromium, Android, Go, Angular and I'm sure dozens of others. Then of course Microsoft now own npm, GitHub etc. You're making your life very difficult if you entirely avoid corporate entities.
If we don't give corporations credit when they do run projects well then there's no incentive for them to not go full on capitalist greed and destroy them.
Surely the inverse is also true then? People change, leadership changes, goals change so why assume the Microsoft of today is as bad as its past self?
