Integrated strategy you say. A couple of months ago at my previous work Teams was suddenly installed and started up when I logged in. I uninstalled it. Next day, it was installed again. Apparently there was also a Team installer installer. Why did I get it in the first place? Because I had Office 365 installed. And no, this was not a company group policy thing.
It is basically the shit Microsoft recently pulled with their new Edge browser.
Just like how Google+ allegedly overtook or rivaled Facebook in usage based on how they were tallying measurements and how Google+ worked into the other Google products, I'm always skeptical of the apples-to-apples comparisons in these diagrams.
It's really easy for a company like MS to bundle Teams with stuff and then claim so many users while having those users be far less engaged or consistent. Inherently have no idea what "the truth" is, but just like how we don't really know what Netflix means when they're counting their numbers, we're only getting the story as Microsoft wants it to be spun.
I think Teams took over new growth with organizations going remote. A lot of larger organizations look an integrated stack versus single off programs. It's more cost effective and already taps into Outlook, which is heavily used in the corporate world.
Via this Verge article, Microsoft has eclipsed Slack in daily users by a healthy margin, and very quickly.
This has been made possible by their integrated strategy alongside the Office 365 products, and their large Enterprise relationships.

At my new job we use Teams, and I hate it.
that is insane

Yeah that is definitely a component. Teams definitely benefited big time here. Quibi not so much 😂
