I don't understand. How is it better than using HTTP POST to post to the slack channel yourself?

It doesn't require changing the underlying systems that are being managed, giving it a lot more flexibility. So long as the service can log to STDOUT it can be integrated with Slack.

Oh I get it. Thanks.
