Why Do People View the MS Acquisition of ABK as a "Good Thing?"

[Norion]

I'm mostly neutral on this but it will directly benefit a lot of people to varying degrees so it's only natural it's viewed positively by many. Consolidation is concerning but for this case it's not that bad relatively speaking so it's tough to convince those who aren't already ideologically opposed to stuff like this to be against it which is why general reception appears to be positive.
