Help me here

Why can’t a company in the EU make a secure video/voice chat app?

There’s are EU companies that make teams alternatives:

Even if those don’t work SAP, Dassault, etc… make massively complex software and services across multiple verticals and could trivially ship a competitor

If they can't pass chat control- Simply adopt something full of holes but seems reasonable.

I think the intention was never to get their communication audited (potentially via poor security), but ours. You know, to protect the children and all that.

Why reinvent the wheel when there are already open standards like Matrix or XMPP that can be adapted to your use case?

Matrix isn’t a 1:1 replacement for teams

What makes you think they can't?

Microsoft's corporate edge isn't merely the product, it's also an army of sales, entrenched corporate markets/clients, lock-in, etc.

You could have a better version of their product and still get eaten alive.
