Personally, I can't reconcile having a self-hosted email server and using Outlook to access said email.

I'm being an ass in saying this, because I'm aware human motivation is a beautiful kaleidoscope of variables, but I would have guessed at the venn diagram of 'those willing to compromise and use a Microsoft product' is mutually exclusive with that of the 'I'm hardcore enough to self-host email'.

I will say, however, that Outlook used to be one of the better desktop email programs, so I'll grant some legacy lenience.

In a corporate environment, I don't think this would be that unusual. But yes, it's hard to imagine someone would do that in a personal setup.

What's your preferred email client? Just wondering what other people are using.

It does have to do with the fact that Outlook still looks better than Thunderbird.

You're not being an ass. You're being a logical person who is advocating for individuals taking responsibility for their choices/actions.

Unfortunately, being someone who speaks up nowadays has been portrayed as being an asshole.

How dare you!?
