Source? I am aware of one major Teams outage - on literally the first morning of the first day most of the country started to stay home, for a few hours. I’m on Teams and Skype (via a Mac, lol) all day every day. Zero issues.
Got a tip for us?

Not really, I mainly use Apple products but have a host of Microsoft products around me as well. They seem to work well for me to the point that if I needed to change ecosystem, I’d only be missing a few apps and features.
Well Apple was able to destroy the masterpiece of MacOS that they had so I’m sorry but I stick with my statement that Microsoft is doing much better software wise.
Tiger Leopard and Snow Leppard were the best operating systems ever. The last decent macOS was Maverick. After that a free fall. Bugs over bugs. Not even the basic functions that they advertise work, see continuity, try on a multiuser Mac and tell me if it works.. Can’t even manage the iPhone from the Mac anymore, failed syncs, no access to photo albums created on the iPhone, just a total disaster. Just to mention a few random things that popped up in my mind and without talking about other devices in the ecosystem like the HomePod Because otherwise I have to write a book
Most of our clients have dropped Teams and moved to Slack. Outages have varied from being unable to login for hours (the big one at the start), to slowness and failed file transfers. Skype works, but Skype for Business has become a hot mess. Reduced call quality during peak hours is frustrating those who remain.
Bigger clients on the MS stack are suffering more. Apart from the one still using Zoom...yeah that's going to end badly eventually.

Not saying your experiences are wrong (of course they aren't). but I moved from Windows 10 to macOS last year and it was a breath of fresh air. It may not be as good as Snow Leopard was (I wouldn't know), but Windows 10 has become a complete mess. You want continuity? Windows 10 has 2 interfaces for the settings now. Some stuff is in control panel, some is in settings. What belongs where? Who knows? How does it decide? Well if it's an app it goes in one place, if it's a program it goes to another place. And how does the user know? Well, you just have to find that out yourself! Talking to other devices? Do you want to go and manage the mess that is third party Windows 10 drivers? I don't miss drivers. Or all the free to play games it downloads on fresh install? That's what you need on a fresh build of Windows right? Candy Crush and 15 different rip offs of it in the start menu.
Not saying macOS is as good as it used to be. But Windows 10 started promising and has gone downhill rapidly. Despite VSC and Edge being phenomenal bits of software - Windows is not. And that's sad. I loved Windows.

with continuity I mean a feature where you start doing something on your iPhone and you pick it up right where you left it on the Mac.. typing a message or surfing the web for example
well I’d rather not having features than having them half baked and then abandoned
