Thijs Lecomte, THANK YOU!!

I'd been going back and forth with Office 365 Support on this issue, and NONE OF THEM, responded with this basic response. No, Modern Authentication was NOT enabled for my Exchange Online environment, which is obviously a piece of what's impacting my ability to enable passwordless push MFA for native Office 365 desktop apps on a Windows 10 Business / Azure AD integrated user profile.

Again, thank you for the answer to my question.
