I don't think anyone has said digital stitching is the be all and end all or a total replacement for the large format. What people are objecting to is your obdurate insistance that the technique is flawed beyond usability when the facts are plain that it does work for many picture taking situations. I look back on all of my large format stuff, I suspect that well in excess of 2/3s could have been done via digital stitching (other than my rather dated love for black and white film and darkroom work getting in the way).
