> Slack isn't markedly better in any area than Teams from my testing. Is it markedly worse in any area? Seems like for any business that's already entrenched in slack there isn't much incentive to move off. I'm assuming in your case there must have been some large benefits in order to spend a multi-month effort forcing a migration.

That's what people said when they were on Hipchat. And every other chat before Slack. Chat is commoditized software at this point.

  HipChat was utter crap. At some point things are good enough.

    IRC was fine. Really. And the clients didn't chew ram.

      IRC’s main issue is not working well with phones or multiple devices I think? (Yes, IRCCloud is a thing but if you’re going with a SaaS already, you may very well just go with a proprietary solution).

  >Chat is commoditized software at this point. I don't think I follow your logic. Why would this lead to Hipchat being completely shutdown?

An Office 365 subscription includes Teams, email hosting, the Office suite, and 1TB storage per user for less than the price of Slack alone. So I would call that markedly worse pricing. Sure for companies already using Slack there's probably not a whole lot of reason to move off. But Slack seems to be relying on continued huge growth numbers to become profitable.
