It's amazing how reflexive that question is, and I also get it a lot even though I will only, say, use 5 slides for an hour-long talk.
Hell, I have been asked for my slides after a talk where I was obviously just showing live screens in a firefox window. Like, dudes, that's not slides, that's the software.

Even reading the slides + reading the paper is quicker than just reading the paper if the slides are good, because you don't have to reread as much to understand the content.
