That's an interesting question. I wonder why slide projectors were so
popular to begin with, as opposed to prints. Perhaps color prints 
in reasonable sizes were prohibitively expensive as compared to a slide.
But I can't really remember. I *do* remember that my folks almost always
took slides (even in 2D) as opposed to doing prints...
