People have been mad at Skype many years already if you follow forums on the net. When people get mad enough they search alternatives and then Skype isn't a problem any more.

I don't know what is their market share but I think the google trend chart is pretty explicit

Acquisition in 2012.

Wasn't it acquired in 2011?

Sound theory, but it's been 8 years since the acquisition and Skype is still very much a problem!

Yes, it's good in market theory. Reality is sadly different even on the open market.
