Holding option and dragging slides should duplicate them

When I select and drag a slide in the sidebar of Slides, I expect it to be duplicated, just like it would be in Keynote, Google Slides, or like any other object in Figma or other apps.

Every single time I work on a presentation, I option drag to duplicate a slide, then accidentally overwrite content that I needed.

I have overwritten my slide content because of this so many times :(

What is weird is that if you do Option + drag on a slide in Grid View on the canvas, it does duplicate the slide!

Same. It sucks so much. Thankfully they have solid version history.
