I doubt that Microsoft's deliberately locking out competitors. There's a bunch of functionality (like the presence functionality that's implemented via ActiveX) that's been around for years (from the early LCS days) that just doesn't work in Firefox.
Other stuff, like the WebDAV/FP provider code, is rooted back in Windows XP client days. Rewriting that entire code base is going to be an effort that will take a couple of revisions of the product.
