Shall we legalize slavery then? Just imagine how many business models would become viable if labor was free

You still need to pay the slaves in the sense that since you own them, you are responsible for their upkeep, which takes resources.
I wouldn't say slavery is free. You still have to pay someone to beat the slaves.
