The point is that using a sling has virtually no tradeoffs, adds no weight (you need a sling to carry the rifle anyway) and is very fast.

Sure there are tradeoffs. You just don't think they matter. As noted, a sling isn't as good as a tripod. That is an obvious tradeoff and you listed it. Never mind all the extra training and practice necessary to get good with a sling. Not everybody has the time or inclination to do that.
And no, you don't need a sling to carry your rifle anyway. Some folks use slings and some do not.
