Your other questions make perfect sense, but I don't get this one. Why would it mean that? "A runner is never required to slide" means that a runner who does not slide has done nothing illegal just in not sliding.
There are lots of other rules he could violate, though, and so not sliding can't guarantee a legal play (for instance: he could interfere in some way that doesn't involve an illegal slide).
