Google chat isn't a real competitor in the space. It has always been Slack and MS, and being #2 is a rapidly growing sector is still very valuable.

It certainly is when it comes free with G Suite.
A company that uses G Suite certainly isn't going to use MS, and usually won't choose to pay separately for Slack.
In what sense therefore could it possibly not be a real competitor? It's there, it works, it's fine. It's also relatively young and so we can expect it to improve significantly over the coming years, similar to how Meet has been improving over the past few years.

Not when your competitors are completely free
