The account deletion failure may create GDPR compliance issues. These are vendor product decisions with limited third-party workaround potential.
Slack Google SSO Reauthentication Creates Confusing Login Failures

The absence of user blocking also exposes workers to harassment with no in-tool recourse. These missing features push users toward workarounds or competing platforms.
