I remember teams before the Skype acquisition. It wasn't actually a bad product (i have to admit I only ever used it on internal company networks). I also used Skype for external stuff a lot. When Microsoft bought Skype both tools went to he*.
On the actual subject I think "The EU" (really just one agency steered by a bunch of unelected beaurocrats) is way to strict regarding Microsoft and way to lenient towards for example Google. I wonder why that is. Google too bundles it's "Google meet" with it's "office suite". In fact it bundles a lot of stuff. I pay for google's services for their email (mainly antispam) service. I'm getting lots of services in addition. Then let's take Google's play store. You want application analytics? Well firebase is a Google owned service and it enjoys huge privileges on android over everything else (it can collect and send even after the user closes your app). You can even push code and configuration updates. No third party product would ever be allowed to push "unverified" code to android devices via play. How is that not monopolistic? I could name a lot more. There is not even a peep from "the EU" (I put it in quotes, because I too am an EU citizen and I disagree about a lot many of EU agencies are doing,also no one votes for these people, so they certainly don't represent me).
