They keep trying to cram unwanted features down the throats of their customers just so they can justify the insane amount of resources they've sunk into enshitifying their platform.

Meanwhile people just walk away.

Usage numbers for Co-Pilot don't justify the expenditure, so they're artificially pumping the numbers by branding more things as Co-Pilot, and integrating it with more software so there's more people using it by nature of it defaulting to on.

A couple months back they added Co-Pilot to most existing corporate Office 365 licenses for free for the same reason. Lot harder to tell higher ups no because of data leakage concerns when it's free.
