Microsoft did that not out of charity to Apple but as an attempt to fend off the DOJ trial accusing it of being a monopoly

If you think StackOverflow is the epitome of scale, then your view of the world is somewhat limited. I worked for a flash sale site in 2008 that had to handle 3 million users, all trying to connect to your site simultaneously to buy a minimal supply of inventory. After 15 minutes of peak scale, traffic will scale back down by 80-90%. I am pretty sure StackOverflow never had to deal with such a problem.
