I don't think the problem is "Embrace, Extend and Extinguish" anymore. You don't spend 7.5 billions if you don't expect some serious ROI, so they will try to monetize the platform as much as possible (which is totally understandable). Microsoft don't have a good track record on improving the products they buy. so they will either kill it after sometime if they don't make enough money out of it, or Skypify/Linkedinfy it ad nauseam. Been there, done that.
