Every year there are amazing bots that are unique. But stacks are too vulverable. Even if you carry a stack at some point you have to deposit it. While you carry the stack your more top-heavy and you can't get under the bar(yes i know a unique bot could pass the boxes over the bar). If you plan on carrying a stack on 10 around your gonna have a nice chunk of your bot up high when you deposit it and if any bot hits you while your that high theres a good chance you'll tip. True a ramp-dom can't win alone but it is a key bot and the well done ones will be amazing in the finals. Also ramp-doms lead to low scoring matches so they will be low in qualifying not high. There usefullness comes from keeping the opponents score low so they'll be good in finals.
There is a relatively common material that sticks to HDPE like glue. If you think you can dislodge a bot because it will slide think again.
I'm not at all saying stackers will be useless in fact there the other half of a ramp-dom stacker pair. But some people think that ramp-doms do nothing for 2 minuts, In fact they control the center of the field.
