Teams won because like you said, MSFT was able to bundle it into their existing products and make it almost free vs slack which is expensive at like 12 plus dollars per user. However it is not a superior product to Slack. It has a lot of basic issues. However Google could probably do better. My hope is they add it to G cloud. I want to have a simpler way to deploy infra without needing to fuck with yaml and know a million AWS specific things. Gcloud is already a decent experience compared to AWS, and maybe it can be even better if spinning up instances can be made so easy that a product manager can just ask to have a build ready to have feature demo for a customer without needing engineers to do anything prior . Let them focus on building and have Gcloud robust enough to handle it well.
