It is dangerous to rely on accounts from big tech companies. My Microsoft account was banned 20 Minutes after I created it. I posted a technical question in their forums and no, I was not an enraged cookie with foul language complaining about computers and the world. Don't remember the topic, but it was a niche problem. Something about user configured IP blocks to their cloud infrastructure.
I suspect it was because I refused to give out my phone number. For a account reactivation I would have needed to give them my number too although I don't understand how that would help. Then I wanted to delete my account but that wasn't possible without loggin in as was contacting support.
I hate that my corporate account leaks information too for that matter but I don't want to share data on principle. They just don't need it.
Never rely on large corps for work or professional communication infrastructure.
