I’m kind of surprised that third party cookies could entirely be phased out. Which, if they were only being used for tracking and advertising, good riddance.
Don’t services like Microsoft still like to throw around cookies between multiple domains, though? At least, at one point I thought they did.

They definitely used to, but haven’t for a long time. It’s been viewed as an unreliable and poor practice, especially with browsers like Safari and Firefox which have already disabled 3rd Party Cookies for some time now (or at least providing the option to, as a privacy feature).
Now CORS, OAUTH, and similar mechanisms do a better, more private, and more secure job of sharing state and authentication across domains and groups of services.
