"Exchange is brilliant."
Really? Or did MS finally fix the bugs that sometimes resulted in mail database corruption and in some cases near total loss of mail and other data such as calendars?
"I don't understand why no one can make a better version of Exchange."
MS made agreements with owners of some competing and successful mail products years ago that resulted in them being end-of-life'd by the owners. By convincing non-tech types who control purchases of products that only MS Exchange will integrate well with Office, and you have gone into how that gained dominance, new competing products have just not managed to gain traction in the market.
