Everyone who has Actions built into their workflow now has to go change it. Microsoft just conned a bunch more people with the same classic tech lock-in strategy they've always pursued, people are right to be pissed. The only learning to take away is never ever use anything from the big tech companies, even if it seems easier or cheaper right now to do so, because they're just waiting for the right moment to try and claw it back from you.

People would be better served by not expecting anything different from Microsoft. As you say yourself, this is how they roll.

Do you even believe in this yourself? Not being dependent on them would be a good start.
