Even if that's true (it's definitely not how it was depicted at the time at conferences and from people on the Google side).. the point stands Angular was absolutely huge for it's day and they pushed TypeScript really really hard. It was a truce between two huge companies and it made waves in terms of people trusting Microsoft.
I have personally never been one of those mega Microsoft haters but I witnessed shouting matches in the office from people that we're hotly opposed to TypeScript being added to the codebase against others using Angular as a core motivation in many of their counter-arguments.
I'm super glad we have TypeScript one way or the other because the team is so dedicated to OSS.

Angular.js was huge, by the time Angular version whatever because it was always changing, figured out what it wanted to be, most front-end developers already moved to React.
What Microsoft product uses Angular? Doesn't Teams uses Angular.js but not Angular? and what does a Google conference has to do with Microsoft? Nothing.
