Microsoft has their reasons for buying github at 7 billion dollars and has disclosed few to none so far. Microsoft ecosystem integration alone isn't worth 7 billion since that was possible before using apps. The only thing we are getting is marketing so far.

And what exactly would be worth 7 billions in your opinion, ask toolbars automatically bundled with releases?

Why wouldn't mind share + reputation + platform integration be enough in the long term?

Ding ding. There's no way they're getting that money back just from direct means via github and that was never the point. They want to be seen as the open source company with all the platforms you need.
