No, because Office 365 is also the email hosting , MS Teams , Windows 10 enterprise license and management of the computer with Intune.

So you still need Office 365 for each user.

And then, why pay for 2 tools when you can pay for 1.

Don't forget optional Power Apps!

This is the biggest reason MS remains a huge player though. Whether you're using Microsoft's cloud e-mail or an onprem exchange, they'll be more than happy to figure out a CAL bundle that is compelling.

Email is pretty important. You really think a company would pay for Office suite, Notion and Gsuite? You are insane.

And CAL is not used for Office 365 sweeite

I'm saying the exact opposite, that they won't.

No, it's not, but they are used for exchange last I checked. Perhaps my verbiage was a little inaccurate, but thank you very much for the downvote and condescension.

You are right in that Microsoft is the giant pillar sustaining a ton of big and small companies, I'd randomly guess more than 90% of them.

Macs and GSuite are more of a long tail that anything, but these would precisely be the companies that would go to Notion I think. They will have way less incentive/lock in to push Office365 on the bulk of their employees.
