You don't have shareholders until you ipo. Startups have not ipoed.
But Microsoft does. And those shareholders would want to know why money that could be going to them is frittered away on a startup that is constitutionally set up to leave money on the table.
I mean Microsoft invested in OpenAI back when they were still claiming to stay non-profit. There are ways such as just treating them as an exclusive subcontractor in order to keep your main business. Microsoft is not a chip company afterall but needs them to have product at prices people will pay.
