How is is possible that Outlook still doesn't support custom recurring meetings??

I don't know about anyone else, but I find it completely unacceptable that Outlook refuses to implement a method of creating recurring meetings with variant times or dates. My line of work (higher ed administration) has almost NEVER had a recurring meeting fall cleanly along the incredibly limited specifications allowed by Outlook for meeting recurrence, causing huge headaches and time-loss on my end.

Without a simplified method of creating customized recurring meetings, I am forced to either a) create a false recurring meeting, and then adjust certain individual meetings to the correct dates, which causes confusion among invitation recipients because there is still text in the invitation that states the meeting recurs on a specific day of the week and specific time when it no longer does; or b) create individual instances for every single instance of a meeting's recurrence, and send individual invitations for every single one, which takes significantly longer and clogs my inbox with unnecessary amounts of reception responses.

There isn't even an option to add exceptions to a recurrence and eliminate them during the initial setup, so even for those rare instances where recurring meetings actually fall at regular intervals with no variance, I still need to go through and individually delete any skipped weeks.

From a quick Google search, you can see on the very first page of results that this issue has been a recurring problem for users since AT LEAST 2009. In 2021, it is not OK that such a basic necessity for scheduling has not yet been addressed by Outlook. This needs to be addressed. Like 5 years ago.
