Default Slashing -- sourdough vs. yeast breads

>From all the reading I have done, slashing seems to be *nearly*
mandatory for sourdough recipes. I've read some reasons for this, but
it seems they would all apply to yeasted breads as well.

So, my two questions:

1. Why slash sourdough loaves, but not yeasted loaves?

2. Is slashing of a sourdough loaf necessary if it is baked in a pan
rather than freeform?

Thanks!
