Microsoft and Apple rely on the state for many things: their own
incorporation, the police for stability, the (C) police for their
business model, the roads to move their workers and products around,
and much more.  If we want to force Microsoft to reveal their
interfaces, you'd better believe we have the power to make that
happen.
