I guess like that: “we are Microsoft, 95% of your things runs on us, you want to stick to the rules? - OK that’s additional 10% on each and every license you have with us. You are still here or are we done?”

You just tell them to pound sand and switch providers no matter how painful. Google Cloud exists and the product suite is better than Microsoft’s anyway. Never except extortion, doubly so for our government.

Believe it or not, Microsoft is more dependent on those government contracts than the other way around.
