I'm certain that the multi-trillion dollar company with a history of antisocial and anti-consumer behavior will survive some petty insults.

Though, if people who control purchasing (and/or regulatory) power tend to link increasing use of LLMs and layoffs because "AI means we don't need all those programmers and managers" to substantial and ongoing reductions in quality of the company's software and services, the discussions customers have with MSFT salesfolk may cause the company to "change course", as it were. Intermittent grassroots petty insults are one way to keep folks reminded of the stuff that CEOs and salesfolks would rather you forget.
