It's the old "first hit is always free" thing, where Microsoft buys a product (skype), bundles it in adding value to the product (not to mention ocs/linc sucked), and then raises prices each generational based on that. Once it's inside though, the products just linger, and generally become worse in doing so. Any old slog of a company full of windoze admins will always vote for the quick/easy of enabling Teams to show some modernization value to an org vs. going out of their way with Slack. Anyone using Slack does so because they are pointedly NOT Microsoft, or has ever actually used Teams prior to know how soul-crushing it is. Particularly so if you have a lot of Mac and/or Linux users. Like Office, M$ treat any non-Windows user as a blatant alien anomaly with minimal support or care, if any. I support Microsoft as much as they support me as a Linux user stuck helping customers of mine with Windoze environments. I simply hate any of them that make me use Teams, so they usually don't remain customers long if so.
