Is moving a personal account to a different country an insanely obscure edge case?
Because I tried to do that recently with O365 and I literally couldn't move my subscription without killing the old one and creating a new one.
Every other software service I use somehow managed to make it easy: fill in the new billing details. Done.
But not Microsoft. Billing and fulfilment details are on different pages, there's no obvious way to get from one to the other, and if you want to change country you can't.
Superb.

I have literally received (temporary) work visas for other countries, travelled, etc etc with greater ease than moving some online accounts I have (Apple).
Even having physical copies of The Economist follow me, with the same subscription, was easier.
you can try to find as many edge cases,
but at the end of the day I just log into the account that's inside domain and everything:
email, teams, network accesses, auth thru web apps goes thru that domain account
