Why Are Per-User MFA Settings Available in the Entra Admin Center?

A reader asked why the Entra admin center includes an option to manage per-user MFA settings for accounts. I don't know why Microsoft added this option, but it doesn't take away from the strategy to enforce and manage multifactor authentication through conditional access policies. Microsoft has been very focused on CA policies for the last few years and per-user MFA will eventually be subsumed into the CA strategy.
