While there are countless other channels to communicate today, e-mail probably will stay relevant. It supplies a unique and pseudonymous id that isn't locked behind a single provider. Awesome. Nothing was able to beat that yet.
I am a bit surprised they managed to mention the fact about vendor lock in at all to be honest.
Slack came close to kill e-mail? I don't think so. In the corporate world outside of software development Teams is perhaps even killing Slack again. I believe such platforms to be vastly more fleeting than mail.

Yeah, everyone complains of getting too many mails, but the asynchronous nature is highly appreciated by many. For anything a bit more important mail is used. Slack and Teams are really bad alternatives for important info in my opinion.
