I guess the challenge for MS wasn't to make native app on multiple platforms but to beat the competition i.e Slack as fast as they can.

They operated like a startup. Used electron, reached to market fast, gained traction. Now they can thing for performance improvements.

Note: Most of the users using MS Teams are not startups but listed companies. That's a constant source of revenue. Tapping that segment with not so shitty electron app has worked wonders for MS
