It's a dumb phrase and overused in contexts like this.
When people say a company is unserious they almost always mean that they're not thinking about, and taking seriously, the work that their customers do. This seems like a classic example of that.
Some define a standard others set it. This came up when my employer was applying for business continuity insurance
Just, you know, taking business seriously. Like they did even 6 or 8 years ago.

When Satya came in there was a dramatic shift in culture, and things were improving. I won’t argue they were super-serious, but at least getting better, and focusing on the business rather than the internal strife that Balmer loved to much.
