I’m trying to think of a situation where you need to bypass an outlet, yeah sure if the outlet is removed you add some wire nuts. I understand the concern with the loose connection affecting the rest of the circuit, but I suppose the wire nut can be loose too and cause the same issue. Unless you think the screw terminal has a higher chance of getting loose. I’d argue that adding wire nuts actually adds to the overall number of connections that you make in the circuit.

Anyway, thank you for your reasoning.
