You are a little behind the times. Microsoft has been pushing Linux for a while now.

It is a platinum member of the Linux Foundation: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/1...atinum_member/
It has provided most of its patents to the Open Innovation Network: https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/10/...-to-help-linux
It is including a full Linux kernel in Windows 10 to enhance/replace the existing Linux subsystem: https://www.theverge.com/2019/5/6/18...kernel-feature

A big reason is that Microsoft is as much (or more) about Azure as they are about Windows, and Linux on Azure is big business for them, with more machines running Linux than Windows.
