For me it allows to not move anything on the sill while venting the room.

You’ll get ice on the sides, these can’t be sufficiently hermetic.

only time I’ve ever had ice build up on the inside of a window was when the window was end of life and the AC broke and it was -35 F

What was the temperature inside (don’t think anybody remembers or even measures humidity)?
It seems common sense to me that on the sides of a sliding window there’ll be very thin gaps, while with a “normal” window there is pressure between parts at all sides.
But I can’t say I’ve seen many sliding windows in my life.
