It's a convenience. That doesn't mean slicing it yourself is hard, per se, it means that for some people the convenience is worth it. (And what's annoying for one person can be a hardship for another, e.g. if someone has a disability.) Personally, I don't like it, since it stales so quickly -- or you have to add a bunch of additives to prevent that. But now that I have a kid, I suddenly understand why sliced cheese and bread could be useful -- my kid isn't strong enough to slice them herself yet, and I'd like her to be able to prepare her own food.
