In General, using a part of your business that's on top to boost another part of your business that is not is typically seen as anti-competitive. Office is clearly the market leader, but Teams isn't.

IMO, the EU needs to do with Edge and Office. There is now a toggle in Outlook that ignores your default browser and opens everything in Edge. It's ridiculous.
