I think Microsoft support webpages do this to the back button. I can't get back to my search page results by clicking the back button after clicking a link to a Microsoft support webpage. It always redirects me back. I either have to hold the back button down and select the search page from the drop down or double click the back button.

Is you ever have the misfortune to use any of Microsoft's Web development stuff you will find that this is how they build websites, it's really horrible 🤮
Dear lord I can't believe this is only now becoming a feature - those redirect spammers are the worst! What do you gain from making my life more difficult? I just close the tab and search again, this time with your website blacklisted.

Pretty much every microsoft site does a massive number of redirects to get to the actual page, it's ridiculous.

Why do they do that?

After getting stuck in some seriously stupid redirect loops when using Outlook, I assume Microsoft is just horribly incompetent

That's what I thought

That is exactly why I almost always open search results in a new tab.

Most of the time it is just some incompetent webdevs implements redirect in a bad way, but there are some websites abuse it maliciously.
