Slack might not have an on-prem option now but if they are buying HipChat they will have one soon. Yes it is possible they will remove it but they may go the other way and make some parts of slack available to on-prem as the two products merge.

The 2 products aren't merging, so far as I am aware. Slack is buying Hipchat and then promptly discontinuing support for it. It's primarily a move to eliminate competition, not to acquire technology.
