Because Ancient Egyptians actually did have a very robust and nuanced system of slavery, with different castes of slaves ranging from straight up chattel slavery, to forced labor. The folks that built the pyramids were in the "forced labor" pool, meaning they got paid, but they were allowed zero freedom and were considered property.

Well tbf you could argue that having to earn money is forced labor, and therefore a form of slavery, as well. Just that you get to choose your (ab)user.
