>A piece of garbage like crowdstrike or microsoft teams still wouldnt be tolerated in a startup's product but tech behemoths get away with it.
Agree, but it's always been this way. Oracle, everything IBM, Workday, everything Salesforce, Windows before XP.
Most software is its own little monopoly. Yes, you could ditch Teams for Zoom but is it really the same?
It's not like buying a sedan where there are literally 20+ identical options in the market that can be ranked by hard metrics such as mileage and reliability.

I worked for a company where people did that en masse because it was genuinely better. Microsoft then complained to their assets within the company who promptly banned zoom "for security reasons". IT then remote uninstalled it from everybody's workstation.
That's paid software eviscerating the competition, which was free and better.
A month later teams was hit with 3 really bad zero days and nobody said a damn thing.
So, more secure, too.
