I’m okay with them using MIT licensed code, without it the Windows NT network stack would be garbage, juniper switches wouldn’t have changes networking, the ps3 and Nintendo switch would have never happened they way they did

Should they (MS and Apple) been better and more open about it? Sure! But we also benefited by it in a sense. I’ll take the bad with the good here

For what it's worth I used to take a much more middle of the road position, but the last ~10 years have made me re-evaluate my position.
