Azure-docs: Are there plans to support pure on-premise ADDS environments?

[gtbuchanan]

It's repeatedly stated that pure on-premise ADDS environments are not supported. Will you offer insight into the reason for this decision and whether there are any plans to support these environments in the future? As far as I know, smart cards are the only other option in this regard and they require quite a bit more setup (CA management) and cost (infrastructure and multi-purpose keys to support both PIV and FIDO2).

PG response: AD DS is not seen as a fully authoritative Domain controller, so a lot of the capabilities will not work or be supported.
