I watched discord take over, in my opinion they “won” over other chat apps because they were easier to get started than team speak or mumble, and better than skype. These days they have the network effect working for them. Sure you can easily replace a chat app in a weekend, but convincing everyone who you play games with to install a new chat app is a lot harder.
Team speak and mumble also looked ancient compared to Discord. Also, easy bot support surely didn’t hold it back; though I am not sure to what degree team speak and mumble offer easy integration.
