I can confirm it's actually a thing, had to make an investigation for a ticket. Combed through EXIF for documents and web apps (including teams) strips some data out when saving documents which are normally present when editing them in the desktop versions of the apps (namely comments and such collaboration features). When externals edited documents in web apps (because the E1 license doesn't provide them with a desktop version of the app) and sent them beack there were differences in the document and truthfully there's nothing you can do apart fom agreeing on using one version and sticking to it if you want consistency
basically, it will be how it always is. Pro version users can use GPEDIT to control it. Home version users will not be able to disable it. remember, with windows, You/Your Information are the payment.
I used to work for astrazenica. Their computer systems ran like dogshit cause all of their severs were located at their head quarters in Liverpool. They didnt want it to run off the azur cloud or something which would have worked better for people in other countries cause then all their proprietary data would be on MS servers
Most of the health providers host in Azure or Oracle, some on AWS and it's always jank. This will raise some big flags for them as it's out of their control and some data will leak this way inevitably, it's the reason why they pushed for cloud workspace in the first place and this negates it completely.
MS uses Linux servers. that should say everything that needs to be said (This is from an old conversation and information, but i think still mostly valid)
I'm having a hard time reconciling recall cause its advertised as a feature to help tech illiterate people use a computer but a lot of companies would turn it off
