How the hell did that pass any sort of responsible review process at Microsoft?

Now Microsoft owns all your home networks, only like the default address on every home router out there...

You have the danger of this backwards: this is a very bad security problem for Microsoft, and not a problem for people outside of MS (except to the extent that we're all indirectly reliant on MS being secure). Pointing a domain at an IP address does not give you any power over than IP address, and you can point a domain at anything you want.

Any risk here is nearly the opposite of what you seem to think it is

No they don’t. Going to Microsoft.com will take you to your router.

Only if you’re slumming around 192.168.x.x

I for one only use Class A CIDR, 10.0.0.0/8

click click click -- "it's done, boss."

Microsoft's mindnumbingly dense ClickOps culture strikes again.

at a serious org this would have involved at least some level of oversight or intervention

No, it's that when you open microsoft.com it could open your router page.
