Only comes into play in bracket racing. Not everyone is a bracket racer.

No lift shift with an LS3 and 20s means you'll still blow the tires off between gears. On a drag radial, that might be a different story. On a drag radial, I might want to ping the red for a split between gears to get into the right part of the torque curve in the next gear. I'd rather not have the car cutting into the throttle while I'm racing, thank you.

Launch Control is great on stock AWD cars. Those cars will hook consistantly every time. However, for everyone else, unless it's adjustable, it's useless. Launch rpm depends a lot on your tires, the track prep, and the conditions. GM's arbitrary rpm for "ideal launch" isn't really ideal at all.
