Dont know about others, but at my $Corp its the other way around. Business keeps pushing and making various channels and threads and stuff in Teams

They're basically doa. Maybe they'll see a bit of traffic when they are made and like 1 day after, but otherwise they're almost immediately abandoned.

One of our architects posted a diagram in the Files tab in a specific teams channel. 2-3 people actually looked and downloaded it. Everyone else got it when it was posted as an attachment to the group chat we were having.

Most people just gravitate to direct messages, myself included. Its not that threads/channels are hard to understand. Its simply that most people cant be arsed to use them and have no interest in following different topics/channels/threads for what they want, thats why even they do use Teams / Threads / w.e (worked with a client that did), you'll have _a lot_ of duplicate threads ... people would rather make a new one that search for whats there.
