In the grand scheme of terrible Microsoft ideas, a Flash competitor that they've only abandoned because web tech has moved on and will have been supported for 14 years isn't too bad. A lot of the tech lives on in other products as well. If you want to talk about bad ideas and terrible implementations I give you SharePoint. I hate that shit with a passion.
You can use containers on Azure as well but yeah a heavy investment in a cloud platform is going to be hard to migrate away from. Silverlight is still supported until 2021 but it never really took off and then the market changed and killed it and Flash (thankfully)

1984 is here and large parts of the population are volunteering to be a part of it.
Good luck with that

What are you talking about?
Go and tell some neo-Nazis they're a bunch of lefties. Please. It'll be hilarious.

What should they have done with Silverlight out of interest? Should Adobe still be pushing Flash too?

They come out with new features all the time but are really crap at advertising them.
Microsoft already something a bit like Github called VSTS and so far haven't claimed any right to any code on there.
I've only used VSTS so far and haven't had too much trouble doing any of that. What's better and why?
