> denying you access to the firmware was never their intent.

Unlikely. With a new person or company it's sporting to give them the benefit of the doubt. With Microsoft if you're still ignoring everything illegal and anti-competitive they do you're on the payroll.

Microsoft specifically modified its products to sabotage a competitor, and lied about it. Microsoft faked evidence to use in Federal court and Bill presented that evidence though it was clearly wrong to anyone who'd used windows.

Why on Earth would anyone give them the benefit of the doubt?

The BSA, which they support, wouldn't give you the benefit of the doubt.
