The distinction is between the rendering engine and the browser app.
The Apple rendering engine must be used (WebKit). The browser apps are free to incorporate additional features such as syncing with their PC variants.
There's nothing wrong with Outlook on macOS, it's a good app by any standards, particularly if your mail is hosted through O365 and you want all your contacts and calendars integrated in a single app. I use it on iOS as well and it's absolutely fine. I don't like Apple Mail but it's really what you are used to. Microsoft is making some really good Mac apps nowadays and that can only be a good thing no matter what you think of Microsoft
While I agree with your first post mostly I don't agree it is perfect, I lost mails about 2 years ago just when I bought my apartment, important mails got lost, everything got solved but at that time it sucked (more work to to in a "stressed time), I also lost my salary slips around the same time which I needed back then, I never recovered them....
...So, no...mail isn't perfect.
I really hate outlook almost more than I hate Windows, I have to use this crap for my job, it never works for one single day for 100%, and no to those that downvote this post, I am not lying, Windows and lots of programs (I look at you MS) never work for 100% on a daily bases.
Laughable, to be honest. Just say it works best for you, and leave it at that.
Mail works perfect me. Love the interface as well as it works.
I have outlook on my work phone and i hate it
I've noticed a few accounts like this here recently and they seem a lot like bots. They're too fanboy even by MR standards.
Not wrong. Every browser on iOS is just a re-skinned version of Safari.
This doesn’t work. iPadOS 14, updated Outlook, went to Settings->Outlook and set default app to Outlook. Tried emailing from our in-house app and it brought up iOS Mail new mail modal. Tried from Safari and same result. Lame.
This is the first thing I did after getting IpadOS14 just now.
Dislike Apple Mail and find it very limiting (its almost infantile in its lack of controls), and its atrocious for any Exchange business type email systems.
The person above above me posted that it doesn't work properly, but I haven't tested it yet. Probably the 1 day notice that Apple gave developers is to blame. No worries, I'm sure MS will fix this quickly.
This and the non-intrusive Siri are my favourite features so far. Android has had these things for a long time it seems, but glad that Apple finally implemented them.

You can like speak to Siri while in an email and say : remind me about this tomorrow 10 pm and a reminder will be set with a link to that specific mail. Better than Snoozing , it goes to your reminders list. You can do the same with a Photo , a contact etc.
On the iPad i prefer visit the webpage rather that Outlook App. Besides that , the default apple mail is way better with a trackpad on iPad.
I wanted this on Outlook to work, but sadly it's not the case and snooze is the only option there, aI love Apple Mails option since I archieve all important mails and when you create a reminder, it directly goes to email in the archieve folder directly.
Outlook is much better now with the trackpad. I don’t really notice any issues. I stopped using Mail about a year or two ago after it kept messing up my Exchange emails. Regular Gmail etc. is ok. I also like the ‘focused‘ Inbox of Outlook as well. It has pretty good AI of what is important to me or not.
My issue with this app is that when I empty either the SPAM or deleted folders, they DON'T delete. I end up having to open up the Gmail app and delete them from there. Annoying. So much for their 'update.'
This is by far the best email app for iOS for gmail and exchange right now. Uninstall the gmail app and use this, never look back.
Well, chasing it as a default app for mail doesn't work properly. clicking on an email address in Safari opens Apple's new email popup.
Not even remotely. I had so many issues with notification for my gmail and outlook accounts not notifying me of new emails, so I ditched it for Outlook & Gmail's native apps. I tried going back to Apple's native Mail, and it's still buggy as hell. Are you going to ignore the many many people that have also raised this issue?
The old widget just says 'Open Outlook', nothing else anymore for me, since I updated to the newest version.

As opposed to any other iOS app that allows you to click on urls? LMAO
The widget that shows if you have emails from 8 people, but not the actual email? All the way in the left home screen that is just as annoying to navigate to as it is to scroll through?
