Consequently, for similar technology films, shooting on slides will
result in less grainy results. So its a trade-off - better results from
slide film, easier exposure control with negative film.

Well, it is a matter of knowing how to use your tools and when to apply
them. And ones comfortzone in producing what is wanted and needed.
And when I have all the controll, then I then use the finer grained film in
the negative area. I personally get better results with Color Negative
materials.

The controls you have only operate within defined limits. You can use
low grain slide film just as readily as low grain negative film.

You asked why anyone would give up the wider latitude of negative film
to shoot slides - the fact is that for equivalent grade of film and
correct exposure, you will get a less grain in the results from slides,
and that is one of the reasons for doing exactly what you asked.

You seem to only be considering one side of the equation, but you don't
get owt for nowt, what you gain on the swings you lose on the
roundabout.
