Because in 9.6:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/functions-admin.html#FUNCTIONS-REPLICATION

Table 9-82. Replication SQL Functions

pg_create_physical_replication_slot(slot_name name [,
immediately_reserve boolean ])

Creates a new physical replication slot named slot_name. The optional
second parameter, when true, specifies that the LSN for this replication
slot be reserved immediately; otherwise the LSN is reserved on first
connection from a streaming replication client. Streaming changes from a
physical slot is only possible with the streaming-replication protocol —
see Section 51.3. This function corresponds to the replication protocol
command CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... PHYSICAL.
