Except that IT can say "Complain to Slack or complain to your manager that we shouldn't use Slack. Don't complain to us."
This is remarkably valuable--doubly so if your management is stupid and regards IT as a cost center instead of as something useful.
> chat is pretty straightforward and it's not that hard to set up a IRC or Matrix server and direct users to download and configure a client.
Is that true? Take Single-Sign On, for example. That's remarkably non-trivial for IRC. I'm skeptical it's any easier for Matrix/Slack/etc.
