Sounds like you're using a consumer version of a product and wondering why it has consumer features.
It would however be interesting to see how Skype for Pro's (read: Business) handles this suggestion feature.

It's also a completely separate product. Skype is to Skype for Business as Visual Studio is to Visual Studio Code.
I'd say they are probably going to draw a hard line between them, perhaps so they can experiment with more public features like this.
"LinkedIn integration in the Office web apps will gradually start rolling out in the coming months for Office 365 users and to Outlook on the web users who have opted in to the new Outlook on the web, and world-wide availability will come in 2019."
They really are distinct products, it's "skype" by name only.
Office Communicator/Lync/SfB is really designed for companies to run themselves, there's tangential support for federation (as in, it exists, but it's a complete and utter nightmare for administering) there's no support for blocking contacts and by default the entire "local" directory is available. In fact, I'm not even sure if you can configure it not to expose all your users to every other user.
It's a /completely/ different product, that fact cannot be understated.
We've been testing Teams for a week and nobody has used it ever since. It doesn't delivers a message and then it disappear; the calls often work only one-way. To use it on Linux, you have to fake your user-agent. It's laughably bad.
