Autofill beta - work accounts in Outlook or Teams automatically add as broker account in Authenticator and break it for personal accounts

On Android, if you add a work or school email/calendar to the Outlook app, or try to use the Teams website or app with a work or school account - then it adds your work/school account to Authenticator. This happens even if your work/school does not use Authenticator (it adds it as a 'broker account'). It turns off autofill for personal accounts. It also becomes impossible to remove a work/school account from Authenticator because it is greyed out, and the only way to restore it is to delete the Authenticator app and then reinstall and restore from backup, and then never use a work/school account with Outlook or try to use Teams on your device. Are there any plans to decouple broker accounts from Authenticator's Autofill requirements? It doesn't make any sense for organizations that don't even use Authenticator to be able to affect the ability for you to use a feature on your personal accounts.
