I mean it's simple. It was a ploy to attract younger people into working for them, for long hours, less pay than they deserved, and never once to think about a union. All while they did everything they could to flood the market with more talent to deliver down costs.
Amazon and Microsoft never once gave a shit about women coders, or impoverished urban kids coding. They wanted to boost the number of coders to make the job normal, a lower salary that now you're fighting over everyone else to get. And here we are.
Them removing the fun is just the final step of the plan. No more charade. Get your ass in here and work, and after you've given up your nights and weekends you better say thank you.
