The integration of Teams on Stack Overflow was a really weird thing. I do buy the argument from Jon Ericson in this post that integrating the internal Q&A into the Stack Overflow page is a large benefit for developers. I don't think this works for everyone, but having too many places where information might be that are not connected is a big problem.
They way they did that was really weird and in my opinion a big mistake. The account system used to be directly tied to Stack Overflow accounts. This had all kinds of problematic consequences, e.g. how to handle SO moderation for users that had a Teams account. I don't think this kind of integration can work.
I do think they went too far in the other direction, and some optional integration would be useful for people that use Stack Overflow anyway.
