They were paying their taxes to the state in labor, which is probably where the slavery misconception/interpretation comes from.

I think it comes from the Bible. If you believe that everything in the Bible is true, and the Bible says that the pyramids were built by slaves…then they were built by slaves, dammit! You aren’t going to let some fancy-pants “professor” with their “science” tell you that the word of God is wrong, are you?!
