  Ok, good to hear it's not just me. We've recently been aquired and the new company uses Outlook. I can't use the desktop app as it constantly asks me to go through the full authentication process. I have to use the web interface which is just fine for me as I mostly use macOS native apps for mail and calendar. I only use outlook to report phishing emails.

  This happens with google too (though thankfully much less often): when it expires your credentials, it could be for mail, calendar, drive, meet, etc., it all redirects to just a generic "log into google" form, with no mention even of what you're logging into, to allow you to remember, "ah yeah, I had a docs tab open". I think password managers matching domains with credentials might help a little here, but it normalizes finding random tabs with "google" asking for creds down below the point of noise. It often happens right as I log in in the morning to go into my first meetings, and I'm rushed. Somewhere, someone has likely exploited this by now.
