Are you saying that AR's with optics don't need BUIS?

No, this is what I have said multiple times in this thread:

Again, I said unless you have a quick detach mount, that BUIS does you no good; if he has time to switch sights (plinking or hunting), then a folding BUIS is not needed. A fixed rear sight would do much better in that role.

An AR made to be a varmint rifle does not need to have a quick detach mount because the rifle will not be run in a situation in which BUIS will even come into use if the optic fails for some reason. If you are hunting and you drop your rifle hard enough to destroy an optic, pack up and leave because it just is not your day. BUIS will not help you in that situation.
If you put a magnified optic on a duty rifle and don't use a quick detach mount, then you are waiting for Murphy's law to hit you in the face. A duty rifle should either have a magnified optic with a quick detach mount with BUIS, have a red dot/holographic sight with BUIS that will co-witness (quick detach mount or no, doesn't really matter), or have fixed iron sights.
