Most companies now are being shepherded into Microsoft 365's walled garden by their security teams. Edge is the only "secure" browser now, Teams the only "secure" chat app, Microsoft Authenticator (specifically Microsoft's app, not DUO or anything else) is the only "secure" way to implement MFA, etc.
It's genuinely sad how many security professionals have been shanghaied into Microsoft salesmen.
By secure they mean "the only way we can easily see everything you do"
That's actually a problem where I work. There are people who carry a flip phone because they don't want a smart phone. IT gives them a hard token for 2FA.
