Again, it's not the same amount of time - you have to duplicate curves and that's an extra step - that is a longer time.

The other problem is that you will be losing accuracy at the same time. A revolve is a 100% precise rotated shape generated from just one profile curve.

A loft through many sections will not have an exact circular shape in the loft direction as a revolve has.

If you don't care about accuracy then that's ok for your particular case, but it's not ok for other people's use of CAD to only have some kind of arbitrary organic shapes instead of precise objects....

A lot of the things that you are describing would just generally fit better in something like a sub-d modeling program where there is more focus on making organic squishy shapes and not much focus on precision.
