That also hinders remote access and promotes a sense of false security with users who don't know better. Better to tell them to use a secure channel for sensitive things. Then again if you thought slack was really secure I could set how you might think that.

There are both arguments. We have a VPN but don't let just any user on it. Then again I'm not sure if I want those people on slack with me either. The times when we want to use slack can tend to not overlap with the times we want to worry about whether the VPN works or if I can connect to it. We even use slack to organize a distributed disaster recovery and coordinate it!
