Why doesn’t Microsoft just embed the functionality of Teams into Outlook (or vice versa)? Why do we still have two separate apps that have so many overlapping features from the same company?

I guess the non-teams home only users makes sense. But then they should introduce an enterprise version that’s integrated. And now they look very similar in terms of themes and layouts that I have to sometimes take a second look to see which app I’m in.

I’m constantly flipping between the apps for calendar, emails, and pings. Why not just embed the chat and teams meetings feature into Outlook and be done with it? Or add the email function to Teams and retire outlook? Just seems inefficient to have two apps that aren’t that dissimilar.
