Just did a test with my own mailserver hosted on a small-ish local vps.

Outlook: OK (had to bother with this one when I started out) Google: OK iCloud: OK

I have a pristine track record and not a single byte of outgoing spam so I cannot attest how easy is it to get back into the game after an incident. I do agree with the larger point being made here. It is clear some kind of anti racketeering legislation would be the only fix. Sadly, currently there is zero will from both the EU and the US to fix any of these blatant anti competitive issue on the internet.

My experience is that Outlook will accept email from a new IP ... for awhile. But rather quickly they block it. I think they watch for a commercial amount of traffic, enough to get a reputation from various services. Not enough traffic for a reputation? Very suspicious, adios... How else would legit commercial email senders bring up a new server?

From the MailOp commercial mailers mailing list, it seems Outlook will eventually unblock you, but you have to keep appealing, etc., for multiple rounds.
