The niche that Slackware fills still better than any other distro is: small, highly customized, floppy-sized (or close, USB stick-based these days) "live" bootable mini-distributions aimed at a very specific goal. Such as system repair, etc. Slackware is just easier to adapt to such a role, because of the lack of those basic features you mention.
