I think it would depend on the level of the account. They have that feature for compliance reasons in heavily regulated industries.

An export like this does not include private slack channels from what I know of Slack design and export mechanisms

Kinda, but not even admin accounts can view/export private channels they are not a member of.

It absolutely is.
Slack must have this for compliance issues, or they would be locked out of many industries (like banking and insurance)

I had to manage a Slack migration to another org we were merging with. As the owner, normally I couldn’t even see the names of private channels, but when it came down to the migration, upgrading the account to Business+ tier, the full export included everything (private channels and DMs), which we imported into the new org.
Slack sends notifications to all Admins that the export was happening, and i’ve only seen that notification once after using Slack for 10 years.

IIRC Admins can not, but Org owners can in certain situations.

Definitely is a feature… Have personally used it.
