Now the same question, without knowing about the ball inconsistencies?
Now the same question, with a team who will do what it takes to tweak, hone-in, and otherwise calibrate to mitigate the ball inconsistencies?

I agree with you that it is easier to program a bot to just sit there and shoot than to drive up to the fender and shoot. However, it takes a much more powerful shooter as well as a more precise shot. IMO, it is easier overall to drive up and shoot.
