the world is moving to cloud.
Conversely, it may not be best move, plenty of orgs in Australia went cloud and plenty reverted back.
As for website/Email, cloud providers think they are the only ones who know how to do things, plenty have been using web hosting, even shared hosting, for decades, and technically that's cloud, just with a new name some marketing wanker decided to call it (few things Richard Stallman and I actually agree on, but THAT, is one of them) orgs have been doing long before amazon, linode, etc were conceived, and long before google and microsoft decided they wanted a piece of that pie too.
It may not be the best overall strategy going forward to block spam. Maybe it blocks some spam, but likely interferes with other large corporates in cloud from communicating with a higher than acceptable false positive rate
Not the best strategy for who, it certainly works for many, we care about our users, not theirs, and for near 30 years I've maintained I will never inconvenience 100K people, just to make 100 happy.
Every organization choosing to use this IP space SHOULD insist that MS give them SWIP or 'rwhois'.
Otherwise you may look like the many spammers using their IP Space.
Or make it well known in whois - just like google does - the IP range is of their customers usage only, unrelated to their core business (search/gmail/etc), so google gave that thought to keep any remote blocks away from their core, microsoft, not so much thought.
