The AdSense configuration could be set up to filter such things out...
<https://www.google.com/adsense/filter-online>
"The Competitive Ad Filter enables you to block specific ads, such as
competitors' ads, from appearing on your pages. Entering a more
general URL will block a wider range of ads; entering a more specific
URL will block a smaller range of ads."
If one wished to block Microsoft ads, one might certainly do so.
There is a potential for an "arms race" of changing domain names: if
Microsoft were strongly bent on getting listed, they could use a
different domain that mightn't match "microsoft.com", and this could
progress in regrettable ways.

"In America, we have a two-party system. There is the stupid
party. And there is the evil party. I am proud to be a member of the
stupid party. Periodically, the two parties get together and do
something that is both stupid and evil. This is called -
bipartisanship." -- Republican congressional staffer
