They already do. Their licensing agreement with OpenAI is crazily favourable to them. They have basically unlimited rights to use OpenAI's tech forever, and have a claim on most of OpenAI's future profits.
right now they have a very favourable deal, but don't control the for-profit entity or the non-profit entity (officially) - which means all they can actually leverage is the tech that openai makes for their own uses.
and microsoft making things often just flops hard, look at what they are doing with it, your start menu talks to you now.
the goal is not to have a favourable deal, it's to grow shareholder value by owning openai in 6-7 years
