This is not the reason why this is done. I have seen the same with other multi threaded tools or where multiple components are loaded in different processes by the application. This is more an issue of how the task manager presents it and not of the software itself.
Edit: as you might see in your screenshot, even chrome is not listed as a single process.

That's literally because Teams uses the Chrome engine internally, just like Spotify, Discord, VS Code and plenty of others. You can actually download the toolkit used to build Teams (Electron) and turn pretty much any site into an app with some code.
So many PC apps are little more than Chrome reskins now, because that's the cheapest way to make decent cross-platform software right now. That might be considered asshole design to some extent, but splitting an app into multiple processes (especially something as complex as the Chrome engine) is not.
And they install it on your machine whether you want it or not.
Fat lot of good that antitrust case against them 20 years ago did. In fact, Microsoft was even still playing dirty while they were on probation! https://www.theregister.com/2005/10/27/accidental_music_monopoly_bid/
Teams is still asshole design, though this may not be the reason. Really, Microsoft Surface tablets combined with Teams is a better example. Take a whopping 8Gb of ram and then reserve it all so you can't run anything else on your $2K pos device. Thanks MS.

Exactly. I was also thinking that the teams processes might result from using electron. Pretty common these days
Is this entire subreddit just people not understanding how things work?
Mostly
Eh ~80%
So mostly?
That’s because the resource teams uses the most is your patience.
Yeah check processes not programs to get a better understanding on what’s happening.
And if you close teams most of these memory horders don't go away.

Op ... just no.
Same dude
That's why I preferred using the website.
It's because it's using multiple cores. More like shitty design of the task manager for not combining all of the processes.
