MODERATORS
I agree that cybersecurity features should be included. In fact I think they should be included for free. The problem is that Microsoft wanted to charge the Department of Defense and it sounds like they used politics to make sure they could, and if true then they (and maybe also the DoD?) may have violated some federal laws around government procurement and "gifts" from contractors to the government.
Can you source whatever you are countering here?
Loads of SaaS/PaaS include things like saml, oidc etc only in the higher (or the "contact us") tiers
What about having to switch from a $32/user/month license to a $52/user/month license for just one or two features out of the dozens you end up paying for?
