If anybody wants a guess from an amateur, I'd guess that slugs rely more on shelter (i.e., being under things), whereas snails carry a partial shelter around with them. But that's at a cost; building that shell, and putting out the energy needed to carry it while moving around - slugs aren't paying that cost; their way works for them (yucky as it is), else they'd be extinct by now.

Just my two cents.
