The slot has nothing to do with a Woodruff key, but is there to allow the

But why is the slit so broad. A simple cut with the slitting saw would
have been enough.

The wider the slit, the greater the collapse. So it will lock on a
shaft that is considerably undersize. Not every use of these collars
involves shafts ground to bearing fits.
