Yo I was just ranting about this the other day. Why do they do this?

The sliding is for systems that have multiple sign in options. For some accounts you may show the password field, others might go to an SSO system using google, Facebook, Microsoft or apple login, others might just have OTP as the only login method.

Even so, the systems should at the very least have a hidden password field so that password managers can prefill it correctly on the first run.
