I read this as "evil Microsoft Product Managers researched the market and understand the competition and if they decide to compete with you watch out because they will be evil folks who understand market needs deeply and are intimately familiar with competitors."
I mean, I get that's hard to compete with for a smaller company or an less-formal org, like those who maintain many OSS projects, but that's just... being a good product manager. If you don't like that, hire a Product Manager and get those skills yourself.
