the skype > teams migrations was a costly endeavour for many companies. Sure on paper they give continuity by offering similar services, but in practice the cost to switch to teams is about as high as switching to whatever other solution on the market (Zoom in pole position).
The only reason people stuck with teams is because it was forced upon them by the IT departments who preferred teams because it was bundled in their license. Teams was very very very rough in the beginning, compared to zoom and slack.
Microsoft doesn't have the guts to call things killed off. And it keeps them in limbo forever. To me that's worse than just admitting you should move on. It's fine if they continue to offer it for business continuity purposes, and they would score many big points doing that. But don't claim they offer it at no cost
