It will be a long road and Microsoft should be taking the slower adoption curve from a large percentage of the core userbase into consideration.
It doesn't work for us... we use so many photos, and Teams photo experience is a non starter.. we have to use file explorer to make it even possible to scroll through photos quickly.
