Maybe Microsoft devs also sometimes lose focus
Yeah, there's that angle also. Like how you can start phoning it in when you have a shitty manager that kills your passion. I have a feeling that that is part of the overall corporate culture at MS rather than just the case for people unlucky with which manager they ended up with.
Assuming you meant that "focus" as a pun that refers to their ability to focus on their work to the point of doing it well.
If you meant that it might have been some rogue developer that snuck in that change instead of a rogue manager, yeah, that's also possible.
