It's not always insanity, sometimes just sub-optimal / way over-engineered in my opinion.
They're getting better at it though. More recently I've done their devops certification and it looks like they're recommending somewhat more sane practices now...
There were still questions where even after three or four tries at certification / reading up on whatever Microsoft thinks is 'good' we didn't find 'the correct answer' according to Microsoft though... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
