So... Why is this "Galar-Slowbro" and not Slowgun, or Slowshot, or something like that, a new species?

Well Slowking still has some physical differences aside from the shellder. This is literally just a slowbro with different colors ignoring shellder

Yes, because obviously giving Slowpoke regional evolutions that are different pokémon but look this much like Slowbro and Slowking, and require specific evolution methods, wouldn't be confusing at all.

Exactly.
>Slowbro's eyes are farther apart and have a circular shape. Slowking's eyes are closer together and have a semi-oval shape.
>Slowbro has a large upper triangular-shaped lip while its lower lip is much thinner. Overall, Slowbro's mouth is a partial diamond-shape. Slowking has a much rounder mouth with slightly thinner upper lip and a much fuller lower lip.
>Slowbro's beige pattern on its stomach has many more lines and appears higher on its body. Slowking's beige pattern is lower and has less frequent lines.
>Slowbro has three claws on each hand while Slowking has two claws on each hand. Only one of Slowking's claws has a white nail.
>Slowbro's tail has a colored tip and it is longer. Slowking's tail does not have a colored tip and it is shorter.
>Slowbro has two toes on each foot while Slowking has one toe on each foot.
Galarian Slowbro is pretty much the same thing as Kantonian Slowbro except its coloration and the Shellder's position are changed. Compare Kantonian Slowbro to Galarian Slowbro, and you'll notice that they are almost identical.

Regional forms are simpler because when you represent the line you can just have them as side notes to the existing pokémon rather than have new slots entirely.
It's more streamlined.

Regional evolutions or cross-gen evos only work for pokémon that have already one evo at most, better when they don't have one at all, or for pokémon whose whole concept is having a fuckton of evos like Eevee (and even then I'm glad they simplified the evo methods in gen VIII).

These are a ton of "side notes" that need to be included

>Meowth evolves into persian, but there's also a meowth form in alola with a different typing and moveset and it evolves into a persian from alola and then there's meowth from galar with a different typing and moveset but it doesn't evolve into persian it evolves into purrserker which IS a totally different pokemon don't ask why oh and as a side note some meowth can gigantamax

How is this simple? Why would having more split evos be a bad thing, people loved those. Who would complain about a new slowpoke evo where the shellder bites a different body part?

Because it's clearly just a Slowbro but with shelder on it's arm instead of a tail.
It isn't even third evo like Obstagoon or just an evo for one-stage shitmon like Sirfetchd or Cursola

Meowth is a band example, it wouldn't make sense for kanto meowth to evolve into either alolan persian or perrserker. And gigantamax meowth is basically only there because of the anime meowth so it's essentially the worst possible case scenario.

The Slowpoke line on the other hand only has equivalents and mega slowbro.

That's a different case, since it evolves from the other pokémon you mentionned, though. Your argument would only work if politoed looked like poliwrath/poliwhirl.

Because Shelldar biting Slowpokes head radically changes it's brain power. This is Slowbro because it just attach's to another part of Slowpoke.

Though alternative names for Galar forms would be cool to have

Honestly ever since they announced Galarian Meowth, I kinda hope it becomes the poster child for regional variants and they just release a new one every single game. More interesting than eeveelutions at the very least.
