He gives a nice reasoning in the last paragraph:
Slack is a walled garden. Their proprietary API is defined by them and only implemented by them. They can and will shut off parts you depend on (like the IRC+XMPP gateways that were just shut down).

Mattermost managed to get some compatibility https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html#slack-compatibility https://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html...
