How about a SINGLE exposure? (Decisive Moment) How about selective DOF? How about lower distortion? How about camera movements? How about accurate composition on the ground glass. How about a true Plane of focus at ANY distance? There's probably a whole lot more too....
Those reasons above are huge and make the stitching technique seriously limited compared to normal LF photography. I think the DSLR solution is a better digital camera with a bigger and higher resolution sensor, not stitching. But even then you arent going to get the movements with all your lenses like you do with LF.
