If true, why do all the best performing competition rifles have totally free floating barrels?

Because the best performing competition rifles are designed and built to compete.
If you have a hunting rifle that is finicky about accuracy, a pressure bed or full length bed can sometimes tighten groups to get you acceptable accuracy without the cost of a rebarrel job. I sort of view it as an option of last resort, especially a full length bed job on a barrel which will generally really tighten groups for the first three shots, but you shouldn't be taking more than three with a big game rifle anyways right?
