yah, slavery was fucked up but "normal" back in the day. more recent than that, ever seen "gone with the wind"? sheesh...
anyway i remember watching br as a kid and going "whoa...." but it was more like "i guess that's how the grownups do it" lololol.
but anyway... we turned the scene into a talk-back moment and made fun of it this time around. plus, applied anthropology. definitely was not part of the normal flow of the movie but required commentary.

plus deckard drops his gun way before reaching the roof so can't shoot.
i like to think of batty recognizing a fellow replicant rather than looking for someone to witness him. and also achieving his "humanity" since he was bred to be a psychopathic killing machine (ofc funny thing the humans are worse. ) maybe deckard is rapey in the persuasion department because he's a replicant too (also he's the best blade runner as stated by bryant).
also the "quite an experience to live in fear" line (delivered twice i think in the movie?) i like to see also as deckard's waker upper.
