You don't need to be doing struggling to motivate a slim revision though; PS4 got one. Xbox Series likely hasn't simply due to its poor sales not making the investment worthwhile.

Xbox One S worked just fine, slimming down a console is really not a big risk provided you engineer it properly, if it was we wouldn't have seen pretty much every successful console get one.

MS hasn't put huge effort into the XB hardware until they absolutely had to. That's just how they seem to roll.

The Xboxes that didn't see slim models were the ones with low sales; the OG and Series. If the One sold better than historically, all the more reason to pursue a slim as the sales are there to justify the R&D involved. The 360 saw many revisions, well beyond what was strictly necessary.
