If that were the case, why do Microsoft apps still crash so frequently

My experience is third party products/add-ins (specifically McAfee Enterprise Suite) cause most of the crashes I have with Office products. Most OS blue scrrens are non-microsoft hardware drivers.

I was mainly referring to their apps on Mac and Android.. They crash a LOT. Especially Teams for Mac and Outlook on Android. And both use lots and lots of telemetry. Lots and lots of traffic to hockeyapp.com (which is a MS telemetry platform) and various telemetry URLs at microsoft.com.
