In terms of space in B6, it might add up. Avison Young's Q2 Office report says the building in 100% leased, with Thorsteinssons taking 20,000 sf, WeWork 100,000 and Microsoft 405,000.
In terms of making sense financially, Microsoft can probably cover the lease costs on the vacated space and not even notice. They also have space in 858 Beatty and 375 Water St, as well as 155 Water (the recently occupied space) and 725 Granville, so there could be other reshuffling, and/or leases coming close to renewal?
