That's less of a problem with Matrix. I set up a WhatsApp bridge because all my friends are on WhatsApp, and now I can use any matrix client, even a very lightweight CLI one, to talk with them.

To be fair, for an internal communications usecase you just need to convince your company, not half the world

I’d open source comms tools leaned more into business use cases (mattermost does this well) then there could be more usage

I imagine that's true for companies whose users stick to internal workspaces, but often the most active/vocal users (1) participate in multiple (often professional) non-company workspaces, and (2) don't want to run Yet Another Chat client.
