Microsoft buys the best designer it will never need.

Nobody designs a screen better than your agent. But a general agent designs as a side task, between emails.

The Buyer: Microsoft offers a 30% premium, chiefly for the design systems of 1,635 very large customers.

The Buyer: Copilot already made their slides. Now it makes their apps too.

Outcome: Lost as a feature

You kept your agent to design alone. A general agent needs design the way it needs spelling: always, and never as a separate vendor.
