Most offices have bad cultures that don't foster good communication. The odds of people blaming a tool because they don't have good communication is very high.
I think the bit about "my team is starting to notice I'm offline" is very telling. Oh you're so fancy, you special person who doesn't tell your team when you're not available and you aren't checking your messages. You sure showed them. I bet you're just the best facilitator of communication.
Personally, I tell my team how they can and can't expect to contact me when I'm changing methods of communication. Call me crazy.
