How is pairing two of their own products together even a trust/monopoly issue?
In General, using a part of your business that's on top to boost another part of your business that is not is typically seen as anti-competitive. Office is clearly the market leader, but Teams isn't.
IMO, the EU needs to do with Edge and Office. There is now a toggle in Outlook that ignores your default browser and opens everything in Edge. It's ridiculous.
Other chat companies would have great difficulty competing when Teams is bundled with Office 365.
