Slack is more than its code. The product is really the aggregate of their engineer's knowledge and internal processes. It's not practical to steal code and build a business or spinoff product around it.
The only legitimate threat seems to be the potential for exploitation. I suppose this might also threaten any backend improvements (economic leverage) they made with proprietary algorithms.
