Bandwagoners are keen to class everything Microsoft does to be competitive as EEE. This is just…them building a product. Throwing their weight around, building something really good, releasing it for free, something that only a handful of other companies could do? Hell yeah! It’s shady. But it’s not EEE.
I'm kind of ok with it tbh. As a monetisation strategy it's not the worst, and I have no expectation that they just do all this for free.
