Facebook made React, React Native, GraphQL, and so on. I don't like Microsoft but can't live without VS code, Github, NPM.

Well Microsoft didn't MAKE Github nor NPM they jus bought it (github an so npm becomes part of it) so I'm not sure if it counts for that matter. Anyways too many people moved to GitLab and after experiencing some issues on Github I know why except for the fact they dislike MS. They do influence development of it so it might count.

As mentioned people still move away after such events but does it count as it would if they "made" it? For comparison Android was not made by Google but after buying it they controlled everyting (just my perspective of it might be incorrect), but MS didn't say they will write some Ruby to change the Github so does it really count?

Your perspective is right they acquired other companies because that will make more profit to their ecosystem.

Developers don't have a trust issue with Apple even though their products are closed source and then don't even contribute anything. And Microsoft has contributed to Linux kernel so any way we are going to have to use it. I believe its good if it's opensource.

Anyway, Competition is good npm is the best of itself because of yarn (caching and security).
