I had a similar thought and slow reaction finding the slider, I expect "before and after" images to show me the full images side-by-side. After thinking about it I still think that's the better UX, my eyes can identify the same areas and switch back and forth more easily than I can drag my mouse back and forth over a slice. That it's apparently popular on news sites probably explains why I don't remember seeing this UX before (though I probably have), those few that I browse also get the most limited set of JS enabled.

the benefit of this is of course the images can be really big, so even if you have poor vision you can understand the difference. I would probably prefer a side by side and then a way to enter full view. I suppose that might actually be what happens, I would think this page was linked to from an article where you saw the both images side by side and had a compare link and then went to the posted view.
