It was a holdover from earlier days, and on trucks, had the advantage of changing stiffer sidewall tires... as opposed to tube type passenger tires on solid wheels.

I've changed plenty in my day. I consider the slotted ring to be an entirely safe wheel so long as the mating surfaces of the two pieces aren't bent anywhere around the rim.

The solid-ring split rims are the dangerous ones. The rim pieces don't have as much surface contact, nor is it uniform. I wouldn't trust one of those on its best day.
