I'm not sure what you're missing. An illegal slide alone is not penalized. Look at the rule you quoted:

8-4-2b ... does not legally slide AND causes illegal contact and/or illegally alters the actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play

An illegal slide by itself is nothing (unless it's malicious contact). It's penalized only if it affects the play, that is, by causing contact or alters the actions of a fielder.

Illegal slide = nothing

Illegal slide + contact = Interference

Illegal slide + altering the fielder's actions = Interference

If you can't understand that, perhaps you shouldn't be officiating HS ball.
