Slots intelligently support inheritance, too.

Are you sure about that? My experiments suggest that it has
the same problem as __annotations__:

Guido said the same thing.  I did say "Slots", not "__slots__", though.  You'll find that your class D supports attributes "a", "b", "c", and "d", and that's the inheritance I was referring to.
