People doubt Microsoft because they've historically run a very aggressive business and done things of questionable morality many times.
They've been to court and they've lost and it definitely hasn't destroyed their business one bit.
For example, Microsoft subsidiary LinkedIn routed customer email through their servers so that they could scrape it. They did that without customer knowledge via a dark patten.
They later apologised for doing it but still used it to propel the company's growth. In the end it didn't hurt anything but their reputation for respecting people's privacy.
Microsoft's own anti-trust history is littered with exceptional behaviour too. They are the size they are now by dint of super aggressive business practices.
