One thing I don't understand... why is it always slaves?
Why can't it just be someone they befriended in the "another world"?

Control. It all boils back to the need to control a living being; whether the weeb in question genuinely sees those they're controlling as a human or not.
"I woke up in bideo bame world" is a shortcut to "everyone here is 'NPCs' and therefore it's okay to exploit them."
This has given me an idea for at the very least a short story that plays out like your average Kyle video game isekai power fantasy for the first little bit only for the example to try and pull the kind of shit he'd pull in Skyrim and gets his gut turned into a crossbow's bolt quiver for it because even if the universe's logic works like a video game, these are still people and you just tried to rob a borderland merchant
I do not want to see a TRON remake where the "user" shows up on the Grid and their immediate response to that is
because bideo bame.
I think a controversial one that irked me was Nidome no Jinsei where people claimed dude was a soldier during rape of Nanking. I had to do a double take on that shit
It would take more effort and writing and creative justification to make a friend that may become a romantic partner in the fantasy world.
It's more efficient to churn out waifu slave harem slop because the treat hogs will still gobble it up.
