I mean... MS wanted/wants to release a slim for the same price *without* the disc drive.

Yes, but according to this chart the new slim model has some nice improvements like; a 2TB SSD, the new controller, Wifi6, and other QoL updates. Twice as much storage is a good trade off on its own. 

These days, you can get a 1TB NVMe SSD for cheaper than the attachable disk drive would cost, though. Assuming MS priced it like Sony.
