“Why is Microsoft so bad at writing music?”/“Because they can only use OneNote!”

Microsoft OneNote is a digital note-taking app. A riddle was posted on Reddit—Jokes on June 6, 2017:

Q: Why is Microsoft so bad at writing music?
A: Because they can only use OneNote!

Wikipedia: Microsfot OneNote
Microsoft OneNote is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. It gathers users’ notes (handwritten or typed), drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network. OneNote is available as a part of Microsoft Office and Windows 10. It is also available as a free standalone application for Windows, macOS, Windows RT, Windows Phone, iOS and Android.[5] A web-based version of OneNote is provided as part of OneDrive or Office Online; this version enables users to edit notes via a web browser.
