I recently had to deal with Entra ID for the first time to setup Microsoft OAuth for our site and my god why is it so badly designed.

Just creating a tenant is a PITA and you get a default tenant you can't change without paying for Microsoft 365? Then you have subscriptions, Microsoft partners, Enteprise vs individual accounts, etc. All mixed with legacy AD naming and renaming, documentation with outdated screenshots, Microsoft Partners bullshit.

What exactly ist a PITA when creating a tenant? It's straightforward.

And what do you mean by default tenant that you cannot change unless you pay? Nothing comes to mind where that would be the case.

Are you sure you're not just using it wrong?

You literally cannot change your tenant ID and the form by default picks a random for you. There is a hidden form I found on reddit that lets you pick a tenant ID but wtf. Also by default you can't create a tenant without an existing Microsoft account, which everybody acknowledge is a chicken and egg problem.

There ist a whole industry clustered around this FUBAR that makes its living by helping companies navigate this shit. It has small and big players and they have no incentive to tell you that there is anything else you could use. The monthly Service fee is too tasty.

It takes like two minutes to create a tenant. Click Next a bunch, enter a credit card, you're done.

And yes they have different types of accounts and methods of billing. Their customer base is probably in the hundreds of millions. People are going to want options. I don't really see the issue there.
