My understanding of Microsoft policy is that it's easier to buy macbooks for your developers than it is to buy Slack. Which makes sense, because they're currently doing head to head with slack for market share right now, while a few macbooks doesn't threaten their credibility when selling windows.
My guess is that github was using slack before they were bought and inertia is a thing. I'm sure there are people within the parent company that would like to see them transition, but I'm sure there's a ton of resistance, especially "on the ground" at github. Buyouts are a delicate thing, they don't want to ruin github by trying to force it to change too quickly.
