Not sure about outlook, but creating a new microsoft account failed recently. I suspect this also depends if you're in the US or EU. Europe requires id card to register phone and almost all big email and social media now require phone numbers. Making you basically immediately personally identifiable. Or if you're on any kind of VPN or not. Knowing this definitely has a chilling effect on me.
