> given that most live largely in their browser anyway

You mean like ... in MS Edge?

Yep with 4.5% browser market share, Microsoft Edge has sure crushed the rest of the industry. [1]

Teams is better in its category at 16% but that's a case of Office 365 pulling in teams rather than the other way around. (The same way Google Workplace pulls in Meet.)

From the chart you posted the desktop market share of Edge is 11%. It's the second most used browser behind Chrome. Also I wonder what's the "category" for Teams.

Ah, the 4.5% was from a different article and I linked to this one.

Teams is video conferencing software. It competes with Zoom, which is the category leader, Google Meet, Bluejeans, Webex, etc.
