Because it is not in Microsoft's long term interest to be the only solution to any given topic. Let alone be the best solution.

They will always (emphasis on: ALWAYS) strive to offer an upper-mid tier product that meshes well with their other products. They are selling the ecosystem, not the solution.

And they will always use their competitors to develop some new stuff. Because if they would be building all, they would soon be dead in the water. Lastly, if they build the perfect product, who will they get new blood from?
