I think the amount of trust depends on the team and what they are supposed to deliver. For example, I think that VS Code and Power BI teams can be trusted to have monthly updates that improve the product. But on the other hand, I am never able to trust MS on shipping any language features, as I got burnt so hard by .NET Core 1.0 and F# tooling in VS2017.
I have always seemed them as political wars between WinDev and DevTools.
Google is much worse regarding Android development.
They reboot frameworks faster than MS, each IO the set of best practices is completely new, when something is finally working alright they come with the new one around the corner, I guess it was required the pressure of game developers to finally start having a more polished NDK.
Three teams competing for the mobile OS (ChromeOS, Android, Flutter), with a fourth one not clear what is coming out of it.
A Java subset nowadays cherry picked from OpenJDK, still most likely never to go beyond Java 8 and whatever they are able to desugar into what ART is capable of.
And I bet that if it wasn't for Flutter's uptake, JetPack Composer would never had happened.
