IMO the key reason is culture change being driven at the top. Satya has been hiring a bunch of external talent who have brought in their culture. Jay Parikh from Meta, the COO from Walmart, Charlie Bell from Amazon, Mustafa, Kevin Scott and the LinkedIn folks. It's just Scott and Rajesh in the SLT that are MSFT long-timers, no other internal promos. So Satya is counseled by people with different styles, often a very retail-like culture and that's leading to a bunch of good cultural attributes falling by the wayside when push comes to shove

My bosses have pulled me into an elite sales group. They’ve given us a special title. We have t-shirts. We were flown out to headquarters and met with leadership. We were given special access to operations. We were given special access to video software and marketing tools. We were encouraged to film our sales process to find ways to eke out efficiency to allow us to do more. We were asked to share our email templates to a coach to allow him to help us make it even better. We were asked to write out our scripts, transitional phrases, and our processes. We were asked to share those with our coach all with the mission to allow us to do more deals. I got suspicious. Are they training AI on our materials to replace us or to give scripts to lesser paid sales folks to replicate? Probably. So I’m sabotaging it. Like Michael Scott roledex.
