I will take a meeting in WebEx any day over a meeting in Teams.

Teams has the worst layouts for the videos, moves UI elements to inconvenient places, often has more stuttering…

WebEx is clunky but far superior at what it’s meant to do.

Moreover WebEx actually works ok for external consultants or service providers. Yes it's ugly, but it actually works. I've never had as many people involved as long with WebEx to finally allow joining a call after Enterprise IT just decided to implement a half baked DLP solution.

Welcome to Microsoft, where data loss prevention somehow means that your service provider isn't allowed to share his services with you in Teams.

I for some time had way worse experience with GMeet.

Me too. My outbound video always looks like crap, even with hardware acceleration on and nothing else open.
