What do you mean? Skype is being used more now than this time last year. It has just been renamed. The first few versions of Teams would even call themselves "Skype" when connecting to PulseAudio.

Teams is an evolution of SkypeForBusiness, which isn't exactly Skype -- consumer Skype still exists. (Teams for Families sounds like it would be the Skype replacement, but it's derived from standard Teams)

Skype for Business... -> Lync ... -> Office Communicator

Say what you want about Microsoft, but they are the (Forefront?) experts at re-re-re-branding.
