> Equating slavery with forced labour belittles the gravity and awfulness of what actual slavery is (or was).

It makes no difference, both are the same in being the most exemplary form of class warfare, and are equally terrible.

Trying to draw a line in between them is a very petty attempt to claim that one is somehow less worse, or even somehow more legitimate than other.

Knowing the details of the current situation and differentiating it from previous forms of slavery does matter, but, as you say, it's by no means the most important thing we should be focusing on and discussing in the comments.
