The users of Discord use it because it's better designed, marketed, and implemented than alternatives. If Microsoft was capable of building equivalent technology on their own they had plenty of opportunity to do so. Maybe in Microsoft's eyes they are paying for the users, but from another perspective the users are only using Discord and not Skype, MSN, Teams, etc, because Microsoft has not built/maintained something as good, and maybe isn't capable of doing so.
