But the PSA and SGC slabs themselves are superior simply because they aren’t cloudy like BGS slabs. Granted I’m not even touching on the bulkiness of each.

In the end it’s just a matter of taste. All this crap is a sham in the first place outside of a resale context. Actually, we might have to include an OCD context too.
BGS holders suck, but they do protect the card. PSA and SGC holders don't do a good job of protecting the card. So not everyone's going to agree with you that PSA and SGC are superior slabs.

If I were to accidently knock a slab off a table onto a hard floor, or drop a slab at a show onto a concrete floor, I'd 100% choose the BGS holder.

It's the only time it wins for me.
