> Teams will crater in popularity once it's no longer bundled with Office 365. Nobody uses Teams because it's good, they use it because it was free with stuff they already had.
And what if the unbundling doesn't affect the price? Don't confuse MSFT making mediocre products with them being commercially stupid.

I don't think we will be able to get rid of teams that easily
1) it's a PITA to migrate teams accounts between tenants not mentioning migrating stuff off teams to another solution
2) companies use teams as "shared folders" in respective channels
3) copilot which enterprises even pay extra for

Teams shared folders are simply SharePoint folders. Like, they literally are. So you're not dependent on teams for accessing them.

Working for a non-tech company, I can tell you that most love Teams. It was a godsend during Covid, people haven’t really seen anything else, and in all honesty it does what it’s supposed to do
2019 is technically still receiving feature updates because of the delay of the new Exchange on-prem, though however that transition takes place will be wild.
