... But if microsoft agree to DKIM-sign using envelope-from (**signature including the FROM header**) shouldnt that mean it is seeing the headers and can of course validate FROM header? For me that show extra proof microsoft allowing free-form uncheked spoofing

DKIM doesn't validates any of signed header(s). It only digitaly signs
them to receiver can verify that they wasn't modified on transport
(from signer to receiver). Nothing more, nothing less.

Not questioning about DKIM. The point is microsoft has FROM header in its hand so it *can* easily do validation to the user account to disallow spoof.

Not so much.

If I send mail via an MS service and put in a (working) address in my own domain in the From header. How is Microsoft supposed to "validate" that?

What they'd need to do in that case is to have alternative address registration and confirmation at a per-user granularity. Users hate that.
