Because imo, the decision of which video conferencing solution to pay for is rarely made on the basis of the quality of the software, at least in the corporate world. Cisco and Ms have very effective sales teams selling WebEx and Skype as bundled add ons to ip phone systems and windows site licenses. The fact that they're both complete garbage is never considered.

Not so much the windows site licenses as their office ones but yes. For anyone running office 365, base teams/skype conferencing is free and adding on call in lines and the rest is generally just a matter of ticking boxes and won't require purchase approval or the rest.

People tend to underestimate just how different it is at most companies to modify/increase an existing agreement vs. setting up a new one.
