As TFA says, these companies know that their "all in one" cloud offerings are sticky. My employer just spent the last few years going all in on Microsoft's cloud. We use it for email, productivity suite, Teams, storage.

This was after several years of using Google's tools (though not with the same level of commitment -- we still used Office, and had Exchange and AD on premises). Google jacked their prices for Workplace so that was the motivation to move to Microsoft. I fully expect Microsoft to do the same, in another year or two, but this time around I don't think we'll change -- this time we're too invested, it would be too big a project and have too many ancillary costs.

If we had been more "all in" on Google, we probably would have just paid the increase.
