I'm pretty sure the MD of Muhle did an interview after releasing the R41 and a slant bar was hinted at, the interview was on b and b might of even been for b and b.
If there was to be a Muhle slant, i.e. a slant bar that's been finished and plated properly then Merkur's market share would go spectacularly south. Herr Merkur needs to sit up and take notice.

I don't believe it is still covered by any patent, but like you say it's strange that no one else, even in recent times has done one.
I also understand that the head of Dovo (Merkur) was asked earlier this year about reintroducing an adjustable slant and he said they have no interest, so maybe Muhle are thinking of getting in on the action, slant that is, not adjustable slant.... but that would be nice too
