It's just another case of how long should a company maintain older
infrastructure in the face of new technologies and systems.
The conversion to Teams was relatively painless so it's not much of a
big deal for many.
There are also many alternatives to Skype if Teams doesn't work for you.
I am not a fan of Microsoft at all but how long can we expect them to
pay to keep old servers up and running?
Try to find 10 year old DDR2 RAM or a DVD Blou-Ray writer (or reader).
Even the automotive industry isn't required to maintain a parts
inventory for more than 10 years.

Happy computing,
