That’s such a good point, especially when competitors like Microsoft are gaining on them (https://blog.appfigures.com/microsoft-teams-dethrones-slack-... ) and Discord is growing even faster.
Basically I have enormous doubts about Microsoft's growth numbers in the space, since I can't fathom that anyone who wasn't already paying for MS products would choose to use teams, and I'm curious if they've made up the ground they lost to Slack in the first place.
Board probably ordered devs to quickly increase app installs and this is what they could come up.
