Arrogant? More like cheekily committed to staying in character.
In many of those slave girl stories, the slaves don't act like slaves and/or the MC doesn't treat them like slaves, while other characters also rarely acknowledge the difference in status, making you wonder why this is even a plot point in the first place.

Bruh comiket exist like a biggest weebs event there
How many people actually go to comiket though ? And would the kind of degen that leaves comiket with a full bag of futa shipgirl doujin really hide their thin books under their bed ? Or proudly display it on a shelve next to their collection of barely clothed figurines ?

Maybe I phrased my first comment badly, we're probably not talking about the same thing.

I'm taking the trope of hiding porn under the bed to mean a minor or young adult living with his parents and yet choosing to use physical media porn which has to be hidden.

just searching about comiket you gonna get the answer, it's the biggest anime convention in the world with hundreds of self published author attending and hundreds of thousand people buying that printed media you called old fashioned

you'd be surprised, it's common when comiket held the train is jam packed with otaku helding merch, goods, doujin, etc they bring and buy, cmon man it's japan they dont care if you walking with degen stuff on public heck akiba is a whole degen place out in the open on broad daylight

Even after Comiket, where do you think those doujinshi book go? They become available via online or if it's from a rather popular author, they can put it into your local bookstore unofficially. Like how you put your homemade crackers to your local restaurant.

The MC didn't rescue her this time like the guy in Hamita's other slave oneshot did, he plainly bought her as a slave owner.

That said... she's not gonna end up sexually assaulting him, right?

First, it allows the authors to introduce a character subservient to the protagonist without said protagonist doing anything to earn said subservience.
It could work just as well had said character been hired help, for instance, but that'd limit the authors in writing the protagonists' circumstances (a poor adventurer can't afford a full-time live-in maid, for instance). More importantly...
Second, it allows the authors to present the protagonist as "good", "generous" or "remarkable" simply for not being a ridiculously stinky piece of shit. "Oh normally slaves are beaten raw daily but master beats me up only once a week <3 <3 <3".

This isn't a big issue in most stories because usually all takes for a girl to follow the MC through fire and flames is to do something nice for her once, like saving her from some creeps.

Hiring a servant or companion for a week or a month should be cheaper than buying a whole person. That's one of the reasons why slavery has been phased out in most places by now. And many MCs pay an arm and a leg for their slaves in the first place.

It still takes 25 chapters to go from that to cohabitation, while with slaves that's a done deal.

That is usually handwaved away by the slave being starved, belonging to a racial minority, or being in some other way undesirable.
