There's more to it. Signed desktop software can be signed by any CA.

Veracrypt has kernel drivers. Microsoft's ability to control what you can sign is specific to kernel drivers, and Microsoft's trigger finger around bans exists in the world where bad drivers BSOD machines.

In general this isn't your problem.

Speculation as well and highly unlikely. Microsoft drivers can very well BSOD your machine as well, not a significant or convincing threat scenario and certainly not something that lead to certificate revocation of driver developers. There is zero quality control or review by Microsoft here. Not for their own products and not for third party ones.
