My understanding is that they made augments more important, so slicing missions still have a role... but it does make you wonder what the lockbox missions are supposed to be for, at this point. (If it's not a bug.)
I would suspect as a money sink to raise the crew skill ranking, much as skilling up any other crafting crew skill is a money/resource sink.
