It would be fantastic to have this feature - but I can imagine that the problem is the continuously changing interfaces in Apple's macOS whereas Windows is controlled by Microsoft as well.
However, as mentioned from others as well, it is of high business relevance to make this work therefore I hope Apple and Microsoft will find a sustainable way so this works soon (and keeps on working also in the future).
While other apps seem to be able to access the contacts in the macOS Privacy Settings - for some reason (only the 2 companies probably know) Microsoft Outlook is not able to do that (while Excel, Word, ...) can.

It's kind of essential. My Contacts are synced everywhere else, across all my devices and platforms, the only exception being the Mac Outlook app.

Echoing other comments. I can't see why the syncing of contacts and calendars from iCloud to Outlook for Mac should be so difficult. This is an incomplete product without these basic features. Please prioritise these features in upcoming releases.

I stopped using Outlook due to lack of ability to use my iOS/macOS contact list. What is so hard about integrating this into Outlook? There's an API for pity sake!

Of course this is a BASIC feature that should be included in Outlook for Mac OS X.

Why synchrinise at all? Wouldn't 'it be better if Outlook could simply use the MacOS and iOS contacts?

I'm not using Outlook 365 for Mac until it is actually functional, which means syncing with iCloud contacts is a REQUIREMENT not an Option. MS you have forced me to use Apple Mail, which I do not like as much as Outlook. BUT it works. Contacts / sync'd addresses are a must. On my Windows 10 PC, Outlook 365 can sync continuously with icloud contacts and calendar. My job has forced me to switch to a MAC and now that is forcing me to use Apple Mail. This is ridiculous.

We can still view the contacts in outlook 2016 for Mac but that will require to add your Exchange account two times, one in Outlook 2016 and again in Contacts >> Accounts. by this you can see your contacts. Also VCF files cannot be synched from Onedrive, it only allows contacts from iCloud.

The lack of ability to sync mac contacts and calendar means Outlook is a non-starter for me. A shame, because I prefer it a a client
