Not for Microsoft.

Skype was a colossal failure. Rare never gets used.

Skype was acquired to make Teams. Microsoft Office was always more valuable than Skype.

Zoom absolutely killed Skype, rolling it into Teams was purely to save some returns on their investment.

I believe Teams is something corps actually pay for. I've seen it used at work several places.

Zoom is more popular among the free crowd...

I prefer skype, whatever zoom does to audio it reminds me of those "play it backwards and sounds like the devil" kind of things.
