They’ll send some goons to let the CEO/CFO know you are a spendthrift.
That being said, maybe we should advise employees that they shouldn’t use it for personal things even though they have it as it sucks.

Or one single better non-Microsoft app.
But making people fear that using something else is complicated or expensive is how Microsoft makes money.
If you can't compete, confuse.
Microsoft has historically pursued these aggressive embrace-and-extend tactics very successfully.
To make matters worse(?), I have not been able to login to Teams at all in the last two weeks. I select "use another app" ... and nothing happens. Sigh.
It is astonishing how bad we can make software today. We used to at least try.
...yeah, I don't know either why peopler dislike modern Microsoft.
The fact that Microsofts still hasn't fixed this should put in question their priorities in security and safety of all other products as well. This is just unacceptable.
Well I can tell you why people pick MS Authenticator - it's because microsoft basically forces it on you, uses dark patterns to avoid letting you use any other standard OTP app and doesn't give admins the tools to disable it.
As an admin, I can disable every single MFA method individually, including TOTP, but Microsoft Authenticator is force-enabled. When users go to enable TOTP (or are forced to), the option is called "Microsoft Authenticator", not something more generic. The QR code they get is not a standard TOTP one, so any other client will reject it. There's a small link below it letting you "use another app" which finally gives you a real TOTP QR code. This is INSANE!
