Thirty years after Windows 95? How about focusing on AI or Starlink to reduce dependence now?

Not really surprising. The people Microsoft wined and dined for the contract are not the same people who agree with Thomas Süssli about reducing the dependency. I look forward to seeing them succeed!

After so many years of EU countries talking, how much has Microsoft's top and bottom line been affected?

Switzerland is not in the EU. That said, if their goal is to get off US big-tech, I feel they're left with Apple for hardware and Google for software, realistically.

Simply replacing Excel will be a massive challenge.

I root for it, but it will be difficult.
