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.

Larry is selling all his large format equipment because stitching is
better for him than LF. if you want to define the small area where a 4x5
camera is still superior as the only thing that matters to you, go right
ahead. the examples shown and discussed are none of those.
