Microsoft was so focused on the enterprise they forgot that enterprises are made up of individual users.

Any trade-off that favors the enterprise in lieu of the user actually benefits nobody in the long term.

Crucially, at enterprise sales, those who make putchase decisions are not the actual users (except maybe for Outlook and Excel). They sometimes play golf together with vendors though. This is how stuff like MS Teams of Oracle Forms gets sold: it checks all the compliance boxes, has support, an SLA, "is industry strength", etc.
