They could've split it into smaller e-mail services in stead of designing one monolith for the planet.

I mean it's e-mail.

Every service becomes a monolith if it becomes popular enough.

Its not "email"

Its all connected

M365 is a suite. Make a 365 email and you also make an account in Entra, connections, onedrive, sharepoint, teams etc etc etc

Its not "just email"

I was digging through Teams API calls the other day and found some references to Skype in the responses. It’s all connected indeed

Skype for Business was previously Lync, which is what the teams voip components are based on. (Teams is essentially a lync/sharepoint client.)

They just one day decided to rename it Skype for Business while making it incompatible with Skype because brand synergy.
