Is it really? The comments on the original Heise article mention that Heise actually misunderstood it and it's basically just a link to the web interface in the task bar so it's not a local app.
I can't see any indication that it's actually a web interface in Microsoft's announcement.
Looking at the Microsoft Store entry (https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/outlook-for-windows/9NRX63...) I don't really see any indication of it being a web app either.
Maybe they're hiding their web app Electron/Tauri style, but I would certainly expect it to be local-only based on the way it's advertised and designed.
