That’s just me. I mean you all are kinda parsing the kit of a teenager who probably just threw on what was handed to him by his dad or uncle or something.
I tried the magpul sling and at the time it was okay but ultimately I quit messing with it.

Good grief...
For participation's sake;
I run the same 2pt padded VCAS I've been running since 2011, attached endplate to rear of rail via QD button. I'm not a super high-speed shooter, but it has yet to impede me in most positions (so far), with or without gear (PC/CR) thanks to the magical quick adjust tab.
I did have a bit of struggle transitioning shoulders at a CQB class, even running the QA tab out, so I dropped an arm out and just ran it hanging around my neck. Probably something wrong with that technique somehow (and I was VERY thankful for the pad, which worked great in this role), but it worked. Then when I was done needing to transition, another 2 seconds to drop my arm back in to go back to 2pt mode.
I think it's telling that, aside from the Magpul MS slings, pretty much EVERY other 'serious use' sling on the current market is a fixed 2pt.
I can see the single-point usefulness, as some others have mentioned, for a super-short "sub-gun under a jacket" thing.
I am NOT playing the single-point game with a 16" 8.5lb rifle, and it seems to me most serious shooters feel the same.
