Skype for Business is just Lync [used to be Office Communicator, maybe?] renamed/reskinned, right? I think that product is cursed. It was always a dumpster fire, like IBM's Lotus Notes. It's there so you their clients don't accidentally try Slack or any of the sane alternatives. All products of MS, Apple, Google are in a constant churn mode. New design. New integrations with whatever platform changes happened in the back, new features to match the competitors, new trends, new mobile apps, new browser features, new framework. Those are the products that are not the real products and not real money cows, so they get very limited attention. I agree all of these are horrible. GMail is still a slow piece of shit. I recently tried Thunderbird, and .. it slowed down too. Wtf. Slack is slow too. Typing has become slow for some reason in a lot of "apps", maybe too fancy fonts? Anyway, these companies have huge opportunity costs. Just look at Google. They try whatever crosses their mind and nothing is good enough compared to "ads". And so they shut them down because opportunity costs. (Not because upkeep, but because then your attention is not on the next big thing, whatever that will be.)
