IRC is easy to migrate from since there is nothing to migrate other then chat history. IRC is also missing so many features that slack provides out the box. And a law like that would not work since you would need to write complicated transformation scripts to transform between services. Also not all services are a 1-1 mapping. I like IRC but it has its limitations. That is why slack succeeded where IRC did not.

The parent meant a law as in "a law of physics", not a piece of legislation.
