They don't even support interoperability between OOXML, thus crippling every other "enterprisey" user who might want to have usable content/data between their co-workers who might be using Windows MS-Uservoice has ~500 comments on this topic since 2018, and no word from MS till now.

Techbros, dont'cha see! Yeah!" - thus counter the "Hard for Ubuntu/Fedora/Linux users to use MS Apps!" argument by going "Know what, Ubuntu is within Windoze! No need to dual boot now! Wow! Such advancement!" and find a way to safeguard and maximize license/OS-aaS revenue - no need to ever invest in interoperability for OOXML and such defined standards (this is a great lesson they have learnt from the LDAP-MSAD story) - no need to bother much the "situation" of dual-boot - now there's a better way, by saying, "you could run Linux within, with full native suppirt, and no need to go out-of-band from your corporate security and compliance baselines! So much win, ya'see!" Look beyond the gimmicks, and one could see it's just the same objective - just a different approach now. Not just "Windows on every desktop" but rather, "all data-processings units in the world to directly be leading in one way or other to cause some kida revenue flow for MS"
