And can someone explain the reasoning behind using slashes? Why change the syntax of a million other css rules that just use spaces?

Sometimes there are multiple values within a dimension, for example: grid-template: 50% 50% / 20% 80%;

And hence, otherwise, it would be ambiguous. Slashes are almost always used in CSS to disambiguate things that would otherwise be ambiguous.

Slashes are hidden all over the place in CSS shorthand properties (for example, you can use a slash to specify both font-size and line-height together in a "font:" declaration).
