Just to give one trivial example of how this impacts people who don’t want to have anything to do with Facebook or its satellite entities, in my country many government agencies communicate through Instagram. As soon as I click on a graphic, or scroll their official feed, I’m forced to login to a Facebook company.
How does that happen with Microsoft? Even when someone sends me a Word or Excel document I’m freely able to open it with a third-party application, without ever needing to give Microsoft my real and personal details, including needing to verify my phone number or email.
That seems more like a symptom of your government’s poor choices. Is it Facebook’s fault your government decided to communicate via Instagram instead of Word or PDF or HTML or dozens of other options?
How is Microsoft relevant to this discussion?
