because Microsoft are known for listening to their customers?

this trivial bug fix took more than a year to be merged:

https://github.com/actions/runner/pull/3157

that bug likely ended up costing customers millions

Why is Microsoft supposed to listen? I'm not happy with them either but I understand their shift in business strategy.

So many people here treat github like it's a utility; it's not. If you're not happy with it, move on to alternatives or make your own version.

Largely, because they want money from people. If you are in a business selling a product or service and you don't at least pay some attention to what customers are calling for, then you're likely to eventually fall flat no matter how big you are.

Of course IBM and Oracle still exist, so who knows.

An optimal business only cares about whether the invoices get paid and the shareholders are hyped. Everything else is noise they block out. Not saying Microsoft is optimal, but this is just a business doing business.
