Certainly I've seen examples in the not too distant past of HMV having a bunch of Mubi films racked together or on end displays for promotion and it being 50/50 slip/no slip on the cases.

There definitely was a grouping of releases from late 2020 to mid 2021 that consistently seemed to have reduced production of slipcovers though, and First Cow falls under that lineup. Matthias & Maxime is another where I've never seen it with a slipcover out in the wild.
