I have to agree. When it's something big and business-critical, like AWS or Azure or some other major host, that's newsworthy, but honestly we should expect something like Slack to go down occasionally. So we can't chat for a few hours on a Monday, email and other business-critical lines of communication are still working just fine.
On the other hand, I don't particularly mind it, either. It's not hurting anything, and maybe we need an excuse to dig up the old "proprietary communication vs IRC" argument now and then, just for kicks.
