Right by why maintain the chat app? Why not just buy slack.
Buying Slack requires Slack to be interested in selling themselves.
You're misinterpreting him. "Buy" here is purchasing the product, as a typical customer.
You're assuming:
* that Slack was for sale too
* that Dropbox wanted the app, rather than the people who made the app
Slack is out for a lot of groups that don't particularly want internal, private communications routed through a third-party.

I don't understand why you are being downvoted for legitimate questions.
Same. It's kind of sad. Apparently questioning the business reason behind decisions isn't appreciated. I personally find them interesting.
I mean the slack product!
BradRuderman you are conflating two different things that are not necessarily related:
