Part of this is about brand identity also. Even if a technology isn't perfect some companies try to get in early. This is similar to virtual reality and mixed reality trends. The industry sees an inevitable future and want to be the name people think of. If one assumes gradual improvements until ~2045, then this is long-term planning. (Or short-term depending on improvements expected. It's possible MS has insider information that skews their motives).
