Is Teams Bot really Bot or just an application?
I believe the key information which was not reached me was (correct me if I'm wrong): Microsoft offers two different Bot platforms:
- Office 365, these are listed just an applications on Azure App Registration
- Azure's Bot Framework
O365 bots I could create from Teams client, but not sure if this is possible to do some where else. Because this requires Azure App registration I would like to see possibility to use e.g. PS to create these Bots. These do not requires any extra subscriptions. From the feature level these are basically chatbots.
Then we have Azure Bot Framework which requires Bot subscription. And obviously this gives more possibilities to use your Bot.

Bot service registration refers to registering a bot with the Azure Bot Service (as your bot does not have to be hosted on Azure).

App registration refers your bot security configuration. You set this up when you click on to the "App ID and password" field during setup.
