Quite possibly. I wouldn't know. Either way, Microsoft is an American company and plays by (or subverts, or writes) American rules.

Money is power. Get enough of either and you get corruption. Some people fight the system, some people learn to profit off it. If it doesn't work that way in other parts of the world, then it's because their systems work differently than ours.

Edit: quite possibly, not quit possibly. I'm a touch typist. I type every day. So why does my typing get worse with age?

Yes, what you're describing is called the "Social Structure of Accumulation" in Political Economic theory.
