Sounds really vague.

From what I’m reading Microsoft is able to sell a bigger more complete package at a relatively cheaper price because of its product portfolio.

Same complaint slack has. Sure you may like Slack more but Teams is just cheaper because its part of a bigger package with software you probably need anywayz

Microsoft gives advantageous licensing terms to their products if you’re on Azure, and in some cases outright blocks you from using their products on a competing cloud provider.

When you write “in some cases” you just do the same thing as this article, making it really vague. N

Office365 is one such example. Pre installed on Azure VD, cannot be installed on Google VD or Amazon Workspaces.
