Absolute rubbish! Sounds to me like your basing your opinion based on your own experience rather than looking at it from a world-wide perspective.

You cant judge the predictability or consistency between a centre diff and a slipper because they are two entirely different devices that perform different functions. I could also say - "Learn how to tune with a slipper"

Again, what works in your neck of the woods doesn't mean it will work everywhere. Should manufacturers design cars now specifically for your local track? I don't think so.

From this it sounds you come from 1/8 gas buggy (correct me if i am wrong). A gas car has in fact a slipper device installed, it's called the clutch, plus their engines don't produce maximum torque at minimum RPM like an electric motor, so a 1/10th style slipper clutch isn't needed.
1/8 electric buggy on the other, whilst being similar to 1/10, is also in a way much different. The cars still dont have the instant acceleration to match 1/10th, and all of these cars by default already include a centre diff help with power distribution. These cars inherently also drive much different due to chassis layout and front/rear tyre size, so it's not a fair comparison to assume a slipper is not required in 1/10th based on results of another class.
