Im not questionning anyone's ability here, I have never autocrossed and im just curious.

Mostly.. it's easier to be faster with but I can think of a couple more reasons why. Firstly not every one is like us, to most ppl sliding is not drifting.. it is loosing control and potentially crashing.
Secondly, AutoX is super tight and really hard to slide around. At least in my area they are really really tight, takes some really fast inputs if your gonna drift those tiny turns.
I do over all agree with you tho... Straight steering wheel turns are where it's at.... or should be where it's at at least because obviously.. this is ridiculously hard to do in practice.
