It broke his ancient workflow so it must be bad.

Well basic auth decommissioning was a shitshow for end business users.

Our IT teams sure handled it gracefully for internal app we manage, but what about legacy production software from third parties vendors? IT is now facing enraged users on one front and shitty vendors on another.

What to conclude? Stop trusting Microsoft for mail delivery and run your own mail stack (or pay someone to manage it on your own term).

(Also get rid of shitty vendors but that is far easier said that done quickly because of Microsoft policy change)

What legacy things where auth to AzureAD or Microsoft 365?

Legacy things would/should be auth to OnPrem AD which was uneffected.

Well our IT was sold on Cloud AD to replace OnPrem with retrocompatibilty with all existing app... And then basic auth deprecation was announced.

But they still praise Microsoft, too much crap built on top of legacy MSFT plateform, unless someone decide to put big money on the table to get rid of this shit we are pretty much captive prey for MSFT salesmen...
