From 2024, but funny to read....

What makes this situation so ridiculous is that while we're all watching for scammers attempting to imitate legitimate organisations, FedEx is out there imitating scammers!

I'm guessing within Microsoft, it's probably was a pain in the ass to get whatever department in MS that controls the microsoft.com domain to set up a subdomain.

I’ve had to deal with shit like this personally so I guarantee that was at least one reason. The departments that control the domain treat it like some sort of power trip and make it hard to do the smart thing.
