What's inconvenient is using proprietary Electron apps just for communicating, while not being able to communicate on my phone without downloading and installing a proprietary app.
On the other hand, you have email: open-source clients are available for virtually every platform, it doesn't turn my laptop into an electric bar fire, it doesn't drain my phone's battery (or if it does, I could just install another client!), etc.
It's quite sad how something as beautiful as email is being replaced by corporate garbage like Teams, which comes bundled with Office 365 (and that's a whole 'nother crapfest). Uch.
