Not just that, but Microsoft's reputation is in the process of taking a nose dive over its human rights record

No one really associates human rights with Microsoft's reputation. That is the domain of Palantir, Meta, etc.
I'm just mentioning this for no reason whatsoever. It popped into my head, for some reason.
In what country are you bound by clauses like that? I've never heard Microsoft doing something like that before.
I very much do look very negatively on Microsoft as a collaborator with modern fascist regimes, along with Meta, Palantir, X, etc.
And as a developer you have the option to go for otherwise trickier alternatives, like not using iOS nor Android.
But of course someone that uses the word 'tech' for a tiny subset of it might not see that...
