Just want to stack up on this. I deal with building footprint data all the time and what I can positively say is that you get what you pay for.
The MS building footprint layer is crap. But at least it exists.

Yes the headline is clickbait and misleading, this data is not usable for anything to us mortals, it’s for researchers who need very low quality data but for global calculations.

Yeah I’m very certain I’m going to get a very annoying “why are we still paying for building footprints” slack message citing this as soon as it dribbles out to the normies.
