You personally? No idea. You probably don't. But many (most?) businesses use AD and Office and aren't particularly interested in migrating to alternative solutions.

Yes, Microsoft focuses on the customer (corporate IT), not the user.

This is how the iphone was able to nuke windows phones which were designed to meet the needs of IT

I mainly work in startups. None of them in recent memory have bothered with AD or Office. Okta and Google Workspaces take their place.

Those MS problems have an “IBM mainframe” problem. New businesses won’t choose it.

That’s why I say “why do I want them?” If I was starting a new business I’d have no reason to use them.
