If you are a corporation of that size, you shouldn't be putting all of your critical communication on someone else's servers.

NIH isn't healthy either to be honest. Plus when some service fucks up, you may have legal recourse. If it's your own employees, you can fire them but won't get much money out of them.

Purchase a tool and self host. You can't un-leak data no matter how much money you get.

You are in charge of internal policies and can enforce them.

Self-hosting isn't some silver bullet. Poorly self-hosted stuff is way less secure than large corporate cloud-based services. There are very few organizations that can successfully craft a secure IT environment for themselves.

Data can be leaked from self hosted services as well especially if you don't have people with he skillset and management that backs up the security team.

And hire the right people to make it and keep it secure, which isn't cheap.

No it doesn't. That link is about self-hosting Slack apps, AKA integrations with the Slack platform. It is not about self-hosting the core service.
