I just want Teams to have a proper webhook API!
Why do I have to create a weird "workflow" to receive webhooks in a chat channel? Why does it have such complicated ownership permissions? Why is it automatically deleted if it doesn't see "enough" use? Why do I need to send the message in some weird "adaptive card" format - for which there are barely any ready-made libraries? Heck, why can't I create a new chat channel on my own, but need to invite three other people into it? Why does chat have a completely separate "channels" functionality which act more like a forum?
Please, stop trying to reinvent the wheel! Just do exactly what all your competitors are doing and I'd be so much better. My company is already stuck with Teams due to M365 licensing, there is no need to make it "unique".
Imagine when you receive millions of events per day -- the ones that arrive out of order, the days when delivery time goes up and up again, the days when oauth fails renewing keys... it's meant to be a lot of fun.
Compare to a sad websocket that just stays connected, you receive everything in order and you don't need an harness with tunnels every time you want to test something in dev.

Create the webhook in Microsoft Flow and connect it to Teams. You get observability and monitoring out-of-the-box.
Well, if you are stuck with M365, that may be the explanation. There's little market pressue on Teams.
