In that case great for skype, bad for slack. Someone, somewhere will decide they'd rather force those customers to use their service/client, or else they'd have an open protocol in the first place.

There's a huge compliance problem with working in someone else's Slack team -- you own none of the resulting data and you don't control access on your end.
Email is much better in this way, since everyone gets a copy.
With Sameroom you essentially retain the carbon copy semantics of email, but with real-time collaboration. So, I'd argue that it's great for Slack.
