So yes but... there are still no good alternatives to Active Directory in the context of managing IT for an organization with 10,000+ users, thousands of endpoints, and millions of files which need to maintain proper association with individual user accounts and be delivered to specific endpoints on demand.
Google Workspace is the most feature-rich competitor, but it is a pale shadow of the level of IT infrastructure that Microsoft's ecosystem provides.
For Microsoft to fade away, someone needs to build a competing large-scale IT management system that provides the same kind of functionality that Active Directory does.

My LinkedIn account (the stupid feifdom I need access to for job searching in my ridiculous field, you know?) locked me out for a similar reason (crime: using Firefox and a VPN to access M$ protected and owned data!)
There is no appeal process. No contact info. No way to even ask for help. Just... Hey sorry you did a thing or whatever, your account has been permanently locked.
I've fully divested from MS except for work devices provided by my employer. I won't use any MS products again, I've been putting up with degrees of this for years but in the last year MS has fully fallen off a cliff in terms of customer concern.
