    Pay the fine, decouple from office, bundle it with Edge because it depends on edge’s engine and rinse and repeat.

      Minor issue with that: 365 generally costs money, but Edge is free. That means Teams needs to become a (pure) data-harvesting operation. Right now, its value lies in something else: It’s the app that’s thrown in to make sure companies don’t switch to Slack, Zoom, Dropbox, Google, Facebook, Atlassian, or whatever other company can replicate any part of 365’s “collaboration” software.

      The value of 365 is that absolutely every functionality under the sun is in there and the suite thus competes with absolutely every vendor of corporate collaboration software. Granted, no part of 365 is very good (opinion) but it all interoperates to some degree. And the two super-apps that insert themselves into almost every interaction between 365 apps are Sharepoint and Teams.
