I'm not an expert on EU antitrust but these things seem like they naturally go together. After all, Outlook comes with Office, right? Is that not a communication and collaboration tool?

That's kinda what I'm thinking. It's just a new app that is part of Microsoft Office but also available standalone. Pretty sure you can also just... not install it during Office install, just like all of the other apps. They all work independently of each other.
Except Outlook only lets you add Teams meetings to appointments, not Zoom, for example. Teams is prioritised in several other parts of MS Office suite
What? Office Apps of course allows 3rd party plugins.
Zoom:
Google:
I've got the new Outlook interface and it's not there. There are only three tabs on the top: Home, View and Help. The only online option is Teams, as in this screenshot 
It's a third party plugin. It's not there by default. You need to manually install it.
No one would use Teams if it wasn't bundled together with other stuff.
I absolutely agree : our company used slack, Google docs, and self-hosted exchange.
Eventually, MS forced us to replace our self-hosted exchange for MS' cloud solution. This was basically a ramrod for shoveling O365 and having it replace Slack with Teams and Google Docs with O365.
The migration was painful... going from "I have the exact tools I need for the job" to "jebus, this is the best MS has? On Teams I can only see 4 people at the same time? What was MS thinking".
Serious question, I don't get the "forced" part. Could you clarify this for me?
