Frankly it's a bit like HyperCard.
One of the things we learned early on in trying to integrate a D365 system into our UI integration test automation, was that when you changed pages, the previous page was actually still in the DOM and so if you didn't update your locators to the new "context" or screen, you'd be trying to interact with things from two screens ago. I dunno honestly what they would have done without someone like me who could actually RE that. The guy that had seniority over me was completely lost.
HyperCard! There's a name I haven't heard in a while. It was marvellous, for its time.
I'm appalled to see it compared to some shitty MS product (that I have no knowledge of), and I'll just add that I have never encountered our hard of this bonkers "previous page is still active" issue in HyperCard - but I readily believe it's there in 365.
