How is it "enshittify" when people aren't paying for the product? I feel like this was entirely predictable, there's no way that Slack (now Salesforce) would continue to pay for free storage for none paying customers in all eternity.

Paid for or not, the term refers to the user experience. eg Youtube and Prime, previously free and ad-free products have been made worse over time. In this case of Slack, you couldn't view messages past 90d as a free user from the initial offering....maybe you could get some older messages if there was an alternate 10k msg limit and you used slack as your own personal notes sent to yourself shrug. I agree that the Slack storing older data at all, is surprising, and this change does not affect the user experience for the vast majority of free tier users.
