I've got bad news for you. AD, Office, SharePoint, Teams, BI, etc. are becoming unified in the cloud around Power Platform.

Any new business problem in a Microsoft shop is going to go with a Power Platform/Teams/SharePoint Online solution as first prize.

Personally, I like it, even if it has some annoying challenges. I've not seen anything else come close in terms of rapid application development, integration and deployment; there's very little to license and what there is left falls under existing procurement relationships for most big enterprises that rely on Microsoft already.
