This was done to further the case to abandon MS as sole contractor at the Pentagon, deal penned by the Trump administration.
Biden Administration wants out as well because they want it to go to a more Chinese friendly company such as Amazon, who has sued claiming that they only lost the contract because Trump got involved.
That is why the attacks have begun against MS, and Biden Administration 'taking it seriously', they want to use the excuse of compromised by Chinese hackers which makes it a national security issue, thus the Pentagon must be removed from MS contract.
