It's close to malware. I recently helped a friend with his Surface Pro; He had two instances of Onedrive as well as two of Teams running. One with his private Account and one with work & school. There just wasn't an easy to find quit option for him anymore so everything was constantly running his battery dead and autostarting after rebooting.
why would you even want to use a computer if it doesn’t have at least two copies of teams and onedrive running at all times? is there even anything else to do on the computer (besides making Bing Searches of course)?
And of course each teams instance uses 2gb ram each because they're very badly optimized electron apps.
Just buy more RAM! And a new computer! Problem solved!
