The regulators need to forbid MS from bundling these two at all, so that you have to pay separately for Teams, and that price is no different than if you subscribe to Office or not. The only way it should make any sense to use Teams is if they're basically giving it away for free or close-to-free (in which case the regulators can then bring a court case against them for "dumping").

Free is still too expensive.

Agreed. As it stands, Teams will still be much cheaper than Slack so it's unlikely any enterprises will make the switch, given how entrenched Teams has become.
