Uh, huh. At this point Google can unify their messaging line in the same way Medusa can braid her hair. Might do, but it's going to take some real concentration, focus, and an unholy ability to wrangle some snakes.
You got my upvote, but I can't select Agree, Interesting, Funny, and Adds to Story all at once.
I get a sense that Microsoft may come up the surprise here. Teams for Consumers may turn out to be a train wreck, but there's a small chance that they'll put in the needed hooks to let people use it from different angles. I've had to explain to work that Teams is kinda like Slack, but that's only one part of it, in that it's part of an ecosystem that allows people to approach their work from different angles. If they can come up with a way to allow arbitrary groups not tied to a single tenant--which would seem to be a requirement of a consumer version of Teams--they could undermine Google before this effort can even start to have results.
