These are some of the reasons why I refuse to use the desktop application and on Linux at least, it isn't hard to define a shortcut that works like one; path ~/.local/share/applications/ms-teams.desktop

I do similar things, but a few weeks ago I had to learn, that many of the issues I had with the online Spotify Player (slow loading times, incomplete pages, not playing music) were caused by the included ServiceWorker. Gladly I could disable it in my Firefox Profile and now everything works just fine.
Maybe the local version wouldn't have had that problem.
