The recent trend in software companies is to fire middle managers, and the metric used to evaluate managers for firing is the velocity. So that's the reason.

If you like your manager enough to help them, then break up tasks into smaller tasks that take an hour or so but still have 1 point of value.

It can, and is. Interaction with the real world is harder and takes longer because we don't have giant piles of training data sitting around ready to go like we do for images and text. There are also safety concerns and cost barriers that aren't there with things like text.

No post processing needed. LLMs sound like they do because that style was prominent in their training data and was scored highly by their trainers. If you ask most of the language models not to use excessive punctuation, lists, headings, polish your knob, and write at a grade six level, they generally sound reasonably human.

They were not in any way the same company

This is, of course, capitalism-worshiping nonsense. Corporations are legal fictions. Having bought one, you have become the owner of the entire fiction, including the name. They are SCO now in every sense that matters, and I say that as someone who used to run SCO software and who knows several former SCO employees. That SCO is dead, hopefully this SCO can also die soon, but they are legally the same SCO.

today Microsoft is one of the world's largest users of Linux. It has no current motivation to harm Linux and every reason to defend it.

False. As a hosting provider Microsoft doesn't care what OS people are using, they just have to host it. But as an OS provider, Linux is still competition, so they still have a reason to attack it.
