The difference between MicroSlop and Micro$haft or Crapple is that Microsoft is actively slopifying their product. And this isn't just some PC vs Mac slapfight where people are coming up with insulting names, Microsoft actively bragged about pooping out 30% of code with AI and we have MONTHS of news articles about them fucking up their updates even more than usual (and I've been supporting MS products for close to 2 decades).
There's a reason MicroSlop responded to that and not Micro$haft. Because every big company gives their customers the shaft, but not many are actively sabotaging their product to quite the same extent as they are, so the (accurate) name really hurts the company's brand because it's an accurate description of their current output.

I can see that argument, sure. The fact that they asked people not to use it suggests it _is_ having some effect on their brand.
