Ah yes, I long for the halcyon days of IT stability… oh wait, business has always been fraught with risk and trade-offs. You get insurance, put mitigations in place, and hope when it does go bad, you can blame Microsoft anyway.

Ever heard of single point of failure.

Yes, you can hack every company but he have to target them one by one.

Now you only need to take down MS

I understand your point, but the probability math works against you as the number of platforms grows, unless you have excellent data segregation and access controls. What happens in most cases, each new platform serves as an attack vector to be exploited to gain access to all of the data.

And now you data segregation and access controls are worthless because you need Azure AD for SSO.

The expected value rises.
