You can use Aegis and/or Yubico Authenticator instead, that's what I do.
In my company at least, Aegis works for the first few logins, but it will keep nagging you have to switch to Microsoft's authenticator and you're locked out after a while.
How did know you're not using the MS Authenticator? Does the MS app phone home what logins your using?
Apparently MS uses a "proprietary PhoneFactor 2FA solution" that Aegis doesn't support.
My experience with it privately as well, and for Fido2 it says my system/browser is unsupported (Linux/Firefox) when it works on literally every other site.
Unless it turns out that only the supid MS one works on that specific company.
