Why does it have to be marketed as a business service to be considered a business service? We used Hangouts at my last job until it started shitting the bed in Firefox and Google told us to move to Allo or Duo or whichever. Yea we weren't a 50+ enterprise account, we were just a little English school in Taiwan, but we were a business using a google service that got shafted.

Business service = you pay for it, either directly or as part of your G-Suite subscription. I don't believe you that they told you to move to Allo/Duo. Hangouts works, still works, and will continue to work for the near future. It has hundreds of millions of users.

Depends on your definition of works. Hangouts is the only piece of software that is less reliable than visual studio.
