> I must live in a bubble... the last time I heard of anyone using Outlook was when Scott McNealy was calling it LookOut! in the 90s. [...] In a ~35 year tech career I have never been exposed to, nor used Windows nor Outlook and have never met anyone who does.

Yes, then you probably at least work in a bubble.

In my experience, it's more common than GSuite in most companies outside of startups and big tech and is ubiquitous at schools, among many, many other entities.

Of the ~40 companies I work with on a daily basis, 40 use Outlook.

I’ve worked at 2 companies who used Google for email and calendaring but still relied on O365 (one of the many naming incarnations) for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Microsoft really do have quite a mindshare foothold in the office productivity market.

Last big corp I worked for had a half-half setup of Outlook for email (and you were reminded that messages are retained for 7 years) and used Zoom+Slack instead of Teams (it was disabled, so not even an option), but we did use Sharepoint.
