My experience with "new" Microsoft is that they're still learning how to play nice with others.
Not in that they don't want to, but that they're objectively bad at it, because it's not something they're institutionally used to doing.
"Old" Microsoft was "We build what we want, how we want, at the pace we want, and we produce some very polished final docs, and you use what we built how we expect."
Continually iterating on externally facing services owned by a small team, and consumed in arbitrary ways by third parties, is a very different model than the above. We'll see if Microsoft can re-org to the challenge.
