Just because it's Microsoft doesn't mean it's wrong
Yet we don't need to go there. One of the major benefits of open source is that it is a conduit for ideas. Every FOSS file is a textbook, a teacher, a resource for learning. Knowledge shared is a common good, a force multiplier for the creative intellect. Proprietary software that hides itself away is a rich person's private library, its useful life heavily curtailed.
As for historically, the gripe seems more akin to the complaints against innovation that happens every time a machine does a human task. It's the history of tech, from the Luddites sabotaging textile machinery that operated in a"fraudulent and deceitful manner" to the 1970s UK Musicians Union trying to ban synthesizers because they took work away from skilled musicians. Each case depends on its merits, but the transition always happens.
