So definitely, Microsoft considers that the unit exponent is a 4 bits

I think this is due to their use of the "HID Descriptor Tool". Maybe
assuming it is a reference implementation, which it is not, but more likely
just not noticing the discrepancy.

I'll try to reach Microsoft on this and maybe make them correct their
specification.

I've started my attempts with a post on Microsoft's official hardware
development forums:

Let's see how it goes.

Sincerely,
Nick
