Why TF aren’t they using something like NASA Linux‽
If they made it open source you bet your ass they’d get shittons of free support from the global community! If they’re running my software I’d be willing to hop on a call with the command center on any day at any hour!

Why do they have any Microslop software?
Because a Microsoft sales rep bought a prostitute and cocaine for some senator.
Very likely that some degree of funding came from MS, usage of MS software is likely part of the contract.
