All other things being equal, do you want to be the "slow" one in a gunfight? I don't. Do I think other things are equally or more important? Sure. Do I think it's pointless to be able to deploy quickly? No.
That's a failure of paying attention to your surroundings.
You should never have to lightning draw your handgun-ever.

If you feel that uncomfortable in a situation,you should already be withdrawing -yourself- from the situation,looking for cover and drawing your gun at the same time.
You don't want your draw to attact attention to your activity through your sudden quick draw motion.
I don't ever recall a story of a person defending them themselves from a bad guy where draw speed was really a major factor in the outcome.
Don't claim to be an expert on the subject, but, since criminal attacks can happen quickly, why would anyone of average intellect or above question the need to access their weapon quickly in some situations?
People tend to concentrate on speed over proper form and smoothness.
Because they are slow and want to justify being slow.
Seams to me that it maybe an excuse to justify not practicing
That's good.Posted by mikerault: I practice for smoothness and getting on target,....
That may ultimately prove to have not been good, unless what you are trying to say is this:....not for speed.
Posted by booker_t: You practice the draw, slow and smooth. You drill the proper fundamentals, and over time, get better. The better and more comfortable you get, the faster you become.
