Why are concept such as surveillance creep and function creep accepted as inevitables but "slippery slope" is a fallacy?

"Slippery slope" is a logical fallacy in argumentation because you can't predict the future. It very well might turn out that your slippery scenario comes to pass, but when you're crafting logical arguments, you can't rely on your intuition about what might happen in the future

Duly noted thanks
slippery slope is not a logical fallacy
if there is a sequence, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
is it "slippery slope" or just reason and evidence applied to predict 10 is next?

You're confusing inductive reasoning with deductive reasoning. Knowing 10 comes after 9 isn't reliant on any empirical knowledge and it's any kind of prediction any more than saying bachelors are unmarried men are.

if sexual morality has deteriorated steadily over the past 200 years, is it slippery slope for me to say it will deteriorate further?

Yes. Prooftext: The Great Awakening happened.
