Not hugely direct but seems to be contradicted by the document.

It's not at all contradicted by the document. The document references Section 702 of the FISA Amendment Act, and the Stored Communications Act. Section 702 allows targeted access to non-U.S. persons and Section 2703 of the Stored Communications Act allows the government to compel disclosure of stored communications with a warrant, or notice to the customer plus a subpoena or court order. 18 U.S.C. 2703(b)(1).

Nothing about the document suggests blanket or direct access.

Wording is probably important: "blanket or direct access" Seems it would lack foresight if MS denied something that they new would be uncovered in the leaked documents.
