Part of the reason is that when Teams (or any Microsoft product) has issues, people blame Microsoft.

When any other product has issues, they blame whoever made the decision to use that product.

When IT people pick Microsoft, it's not an optimization for quality. It's an optimization for liability. Nobody was ever fired for picking Microsoft.

This was about IBM. From what i know, IBM does some interesting things (from a HW perspective).

OTOH nothing MS does is interesting (except maybe as a challenge in network filtering)
