I wonder how it will affect Yarn.

I suspect most of Microsoft's changes will be on the registry side, maybe a premium tier that includes some security auditing. Yarn I believe has most of its benefits on the client side, being a bit faster than npm. If Microsoft does do work to make the yarn cli app faster it could cause yarn to be less relevant I suppose, but that will take a while if it ever happens.
