Slack's bait and switch
Anyone can explain why I'm being so downvoted here? Is anything I stated wrong or offensive or something? Genuinely curious.

They never embraced IRC, they just had a gateway for people still using it. This would be valid if Slack's protocol was based on IRC and they later extended it and made it incompatible with IRC. This is not the case here.
