I don't know about that, I've found it to be less effective than say Vopt or
O&O defrag.

Why would you even call them for support on that regard?    But the
reason you were told that is because, well, Microsoft doesn't want
to be responsible for it, that's why.   Don't know what is going through
there heads to lead to that decision, but it's the one they made.
