Slashing though is one of the few ways to provide "cost" to a POS system. Eth POS will also have it. The reason is to copy a POW benefit knows as prevent Nothing at Stake problem.

In order to "artificially" get what POW has slashing is done.
It is one of the few reasons why POW is still one of the best systems for a trustless system to have and slashing gets you one benefit while inc risks to stakers. No easy win. The only other solution is to have a multi system one like Decred(POW+POS).
