They release app just to provide minimum features. Sometimes they have better UX on webapp than mobile app.

I think people should create a ticket and ask for support. If nobody reports, they don't know there is a demand for a particular feature or fix.

I saw a page talking about Microsoft updating Team to make it less bloated [1]. I think they have higher priority for popular product.

So Microsoft is moving a flagship product with hundreds of developers from one web browser javascript framework to another (node to react)... That seems to be part of the reason of the bloat.

MS could afford to do it right - hire a few dozen elite native developers who can code it up in native C# with 10x the speed and 0.1x the resource consumption like they did for every other MS Office application, rather than this half-baked layering of 3rd party frameworks on top of an interpreted language on top of a web browser...

Sadly they don't care. There's countless reports where the the reporting user gets pointed to answers.microsoft.com, and some asshead employee replies telling the user their issue is invalid and they should post on uservoice instead. For example, Onenote class notebooks can still not delete group folders, ever. A bunch of them get added by default, and can never be deleted. Adding one takes a few clicks and it can never be deleted. This was first reported in 2016 and hundreds of frustrated teachers clicked on "I have this problem too". Some microsoft employee replied telling people that that's not going to happen, and they should post on uservoice. As of this year, the entire uservoice instance with thousands of issue reports and hundreds of comments on each was deleted. Microsoft has used every tool available to tell its users their feedback is not wanted and they should fuck off.
