Why Slack? Everything about this product sucks: bad video calls, no meeting recording, limited screen sharing, janky authentication, and predatory pricing.

They shoudl just expose SDK/platform for people to build own integration with Discord/Teams/mattermost etc. This would allow for fine grained permisions control and speed up adoption. To large degree this is alternative for OpenClaw ?

This looks like a great enterprise product. Lots of companies will just enable it and voila they'll have claude in slack. They already have slack and their employees are probably used to Claude. I'm sure this will kill a few existing businesses and bring both companies more revenue
Enterprise use Teams, mattermost, nextcloud talk, Google meet and many others.
Slack has enterprise features and billing. Discord does not.

People use Teams only because it's basically free when you get the M365 suite for your company, not because it's good or usable in any way.

No, Teams is just better product. It handle large video meetings, has build in recording and calendar integration. Authentication is seamless and handling many workspaces is better. Slack is only better in chat interface.
