For sure. This is another case; which doesn't need completion.

IIRC, we have done this because people have claimed that Tramp starts
completion when not intended yet. Time consuming. So we have decided
that we need a clear indication that the user want's completion. A slash
is such a sign.
(Well, it is a discussion from 10+ years ago. If I would be urged to
find the pointers, it would be real work ...)
Best regards, Michael.
