I think they got it the wrong way round. Slack is for ephemeral communication only. Add an option that deletes messages after 7 days instead.

Not much money in that though.

Perfect for planning illegal anti-competitive actions, Google would love it

People don't use Slack in this way though. I've worked at several organizations where the freshest documentation we had was in Slack. The truest FAQ is when someone actually asks a dev a question in a Slack channel, and not the questions they anticipated being asked when writing documentation. Capturing this in a meaningful way would be highly valuable, and maybe all that takes is feeding it to a RAG based LLM
