They clearly indicate otherwise. Slack is certainly meant as a productivity tool, but they make several claims:

+ For all kinds of "Work"

+ For teams of all types and sizes

+ Bringing people together to make them productive

Compare that to the messaging for say Hipchat:

+ "Team chat built for business"

+ Enterprise features

+ Loved by your IT team

I think you're selectively reading what you want to see. Slack's title line is "Where Work Happens". Work, teams, and productivity normally are not terms you use to describe chatting with friends.
