Are you really surprised lol. MS solutions have always been half baked at best and always sold as part of Windows licensing for most enterprises.

Oh? You have out Windows 11 Pro/Enterprise for 1000+ licenses. We will throw in O365 for a year to get the org fully hooked.

Oh, need windows Active Directory as well? We can add 200 licenses with your existing windows licenses for 1-2 years.

(2 years later) oh your org is downsizing the internal ad sys admins? Don’t worry we got you covered with Azure AD!! Just cough up $250K every quarter. That’s like 1 senior SDE!!1

Oh hey we also have Windows VDIs, Azure Cloud, and other shit. Get into our walled garden. Never leave.

Half baked at best describes almost all tech solutions out there if we are being honest. Some of the products Microsoft puts out are best in class. It's just what you get with an org that size. There's going to be a wide range of quality imho.

Teams does seem to be on a whole new level of terrible though.
