The big sells for Hangouts and Teams is that they have video. Slack doesn't so you have to find a video conference provider as well like Zoom. Also Teams integrates more easily with the existing Microsoft stack (office, outlook, etc.) that a ton of non-tech companies are on.

I think a lot of tech companies struggle to break into the non-tech world. Slack might be ubiquitous for SWEs but my SO who works in traffic engineering will probably never use it (they use Teams).

They do. They acquired ScreenHero for screensharing, and then fucked up the integration.

They've only just got it right - check out Huddles. No doubt with their next yearly annual conference they'll be releasing the video version for this.
