This sort of email oligopoly/mafia problem can only really be solved with legislation. There needs to be push from within the EU to legislate this hopeless situation.

How is legislation the only answer? Users can just stop using Outlookif they care that MS is blocking providers. If users don't care and stay on Outlook, why bother legislating it?
First: Most users don't care. From their perspective, its' always the senders fault/problem. And the burden is always on the sender to prove it was actually outlook that dropped the email etc.

Second: corporate & institutional users have no choice

Ah, yes, a school student can just call their IT department and tell them to switch providers.
