they straight up bought skype to keep it away from competitors like google so they couldnt steal their enterprise customers. the reason it sold so high because there was probably a bidding war.
they didnt give a shit about the consumer video chat market(thats why they let the old skype team do whatever the fuck they wanted). thats also why microsoft created teams, a homegrown product even though they already owned skype and coulda retooled it.
Didn’t they also buy the software that became Teams? Anyways, it is quite crap on desktop (darn web based fake native macOS app eating up resources and refusing to use the OS’s notifications system). Sorry off topic...
