What was the temperature inside (don’t think anybody remembers or even measures humidity)?
It seems common sense to me that on the sides of a sliding window there’ll be very thin gaps, while with a “normal” window there is pressure between parts at all sides.
But I can’t say I’ve seen many sliding windows in my life.
You’ll get ice on the sides, these can’t be sufficiently hermetic.
EDIT: With some -30 Celsius outside and +15 inside, for example, and usual humidity for a living place, where people cook etc.
only time I’ve ever had ice build up on the inside of a window was when the window was end of life and the AC broke and it was -35 F

like 65 F, probably around 35% humidity
there’s a seal around the windows that slides up and down when you open it
