They have achieved higher productivity by not using teams themselves.
You've got it reversed. Switching to Teams greatly hastened development, as the team's newfound vitriol and frustration could be channeled toward the end user in a neverending feedback loop.
Literally! They were told to return to office to achieve higher productivity (it was circling the news around September?)
Yes they had an all hands Teams Meeting to say that the Teams Team could no longer work on Teams using Teams remotely from home. Now they need to be part of a team by working in Teams on Teams remotely all over the world from a corporate location.
It was obviously just a corpo stealth layoff but imagine being told as a Teams developer that Teams is not good enough for remote work
Zoom did this already

But zoom sucks worse than Teams so I don't blame them
