Switching from Word/Excel to LibreOffice is comparably easy. A lot of other Microsoft Products are much harder to get rid of.
I've never seen a European corporation that doesn't do user management with ActiveDirectory. Some still have it on their own Windows servers, but most browser based applications still go through Entra (Azure Cloud based AD). Just shut off their Entra/AAD and most of their software is blocked because nobody can log in.
Agreed, and even things like Keycloak/FreeIPA are only partial solutions.
FreeIPA in particular is a beast to maintain, it puts kubernetes-cowboys to shame.
