Maybe not quite so much these days. I use Outlook at work, but that's been the limit of my MS contact in tech for a few years now (apart from the odd Teams meeting I've been invited to). It used to be worse in terms of lock in, IMO.
Surprisingly. Xero. They are muscling their "partners", and screwing them for every penny they can get. Xero it turns out, has switched on enshitification and turned evil.

Microsoft. I am sorry but they ruin everything they touch with bloat.
Most comments about GAFAM, they are really hostile and bad for overall tech.
But take a look at China's Tencent, that's what those big tech companies would have been if not regulations. For example Tencent was literally blocking their chat app QQ if it detect on a computer an antvirus that was competion to their own antivirus.
it shouldn't be just GAFAM it should include every evil company
