MS is such a behemoth it doesn't really need to try. They know a captive audience of Windows and Office users are just going to use whatever they build because it's there, not because it's better than the competition.

Why pay for an email client when you have Outlook? Why pay for Slack when you have Teams? Why pay for cloud storage when you have OneDrive?

Could make the same argument for any giant corporation really: they don't need to innovate to survive, they don't need to do better to survive, they just have to keep using their muscle and their size to stay ahead.
