No. The benefits to Microsoft from taking my business emails are negligible compared to their revenues. That’s not the case for an individual with malicious intent.

Put simply, to Microsoft, my company’s continued business is worth more to them than my company’s nefariously-gotten email are.

The chance that they become a hostile actor to my business is effectively zero. Certainly among the lowest chances of any email provider.

Draconian doesn’t mean “not widely adopted”. It means “heavy-handed”.

Consider that there’s only around 25mn people employed as anything closely described as SWE, these valuations are just baffling.

The TAM, if you got absolutely every one of these people onto a $20/mo plan is $500,000,000/mo. For reference, that’s less than Airbnb’s revenue.

A state machine is a very specific thing in Comp Sci, and I’m not clear you have a strong grasp on it.

You’re not a state machine. A state machine does one serial task, which is why the input+state can create a consistent and deterministic output+state. There are no secondary input streams or exogenous factors to consider for calculating a state machine transition.

Humans create output from many streams of input, arriving at across many different time horizons. Because of this, you cannot create a deterministic model of a human’s state transition for a given input - a requirement of state machines.

This isn’t philosophical or semantics. Mathematically, you’re not a state machine.
