And if they were stealing from Google (like they've stolen from dozens of other companies over the years) they would actually say so, right?

This is less about whether Microsoft is stealing from Google (though the preliminary evidence seems to indicate something to that effect) and more about a continuation of a very old pattern of behavior by Microsoft, namely stealing your competitions products and then either buying them out, forcing them out of the market with dumping or suing them out of existence.
