Never underestimate the power of workplace bureaucracy. At organizational size X, integrating with new Microsoft product Y, single sign on working and easy deploys to all office machines, support from Microsoft and Microsoft lackeys pitching new ideas to IT people, of course they're gonna pick teams.

One man's "workplace bureaucracy" is another man's "it just works".

To everybody who isn't a software developer and will likely never need Jira integrations and Slackbots, Slack is just another chat app.

For a paid software, Slack needs to win those people over too.

Those sound more like great features than "workplace bureaucracy".
