People have to actually fulfill endless operations for Microsoft. Imagine owning a restaurant and having to cook the food on your own, bring the food out to the table, AND do all the manegerial operations yourself. It's not even possible and you'd have a really bad restaurant that would probably have to close after it's opening weekend.
Yes you can hire employees for that. But why not hire freelancers, contractors, etc? I don't believe it's really necessary to have employees in many cases.

In ICT subcontracting happens a lot, especially for specialized skills.

In building companies you also find many subcontractors down to individual levels.
