I agree at the time it wasn’t a mistake. It allowed for vast adoption with Slack needing to implement the complexities of a single login accessing (for me) about a dozen workspaces.
But from a revenue perspective in 2023, it is a mistake. Of your list, which of work, vendor, and personal likely is a paid account? I’d argue in 2023 they only care about work and vendor and that is what they are optimizing their experience for at present. Now that adoption has saturated and the curve has flattened, the strategy of personal or even open source workspaces has served its purpose.
In short, now that they’ve got their hooks in, I’m sure they’d be happy for the personal workspaces go elsewhere, leaving just the paying professional context, and single login login, interacting with vendor/partner contexts.
