I would hazard a guess that it's because the vast majority of people want a single login for a single app.
I know I certainly prefer the discord one account many servers approach over the slack one server one logon.
Obviously the 1:1 relationship makes sense for slack as it's targeted at businesses, a lot of whom use a centralised user directory of some kind (SSO/LDAP etc...) but having to create a new user/pass to join every discord server would get old very fast.
