True, and if you're the only one sitting on the data and using it, then what you say is true.
The moment you use another platform, entering agreements of terms of service and more, it stops being "your and/or your company's data" though, and Slack will do whatever they deem fit with it, including preventing you from getting all of the data, because then it gets easier for you to leave.
Sucks, yeah, but it is the situation we're in, until lawmakers in your country catch up. Luckily, other jurisdictions are already better for things like this.
