>legitimate website with a malicious owner.
The situation is this: You go to some web store. You click "Sign In With Microsoft" (or Google, or Facebook, etc.). You expect the site to be able to know your Microsoft/Google/Facebook email address. You don't expect the site to be able to take over your entire Microsoft/Google/Facebook account.
So it's a site you trust enough to use, but you don't trust it enough to give it control over your other accounts. This phishing attack gives it control over your other accounts.
