> mattermost seems to list Uber as their client
Not directly related to mattermost and Uber, but companies tend to list clients even if the product is not widely used or was even dumped.
You are a small team in a big company, you evaluate a product and find that it satisfies some of your basic needs but want to work with it for a while, so you purchase a couple of licenses for you team but stop using it after a year or two.
voilà ! you are a client listed on their web site

Uber's internal chat tool is built on top of Mattermost.
