I think they put these holes in because otherwise they end up having to deal with tons of users complaining they can't sign into outlook/Hotmail etc anymore. I use O365 for work and I've had to unblock a ton of MS crap in my pihole for stuff to work without VPN (we had serious VPN issues for a while). Microsoft apps are extremely chatty. Tons of requests going to azure, pipe.aria.microsoft.com. Etc. Tens per minute, no kidding.
