Most people will coup with this with same thought as the bold part. Even when I read second sentence in your comment, I came up with same reason. Slavery continued in Muslim world till 19th century when it was banned due to intervention from Europe. Islam did talked about good treatment of slaves and even freedom of slaves as a kaffara for certain sins, but it didn’t ban slavery.

Slavery wasn’t banned outright but a system was brought about which encouraged the freedom of slaves and which was a means to eventually end slavery all together. It wasn’t banned outright because maybe such an ancient tradition being thrown out overnight would have been difficult. Allah knows best. There are plenty of lectures on this subject by better scholars and teachers who can explain it better than me.
