There is nothing wrong with using spores directly to grain. It DOES have larger contamination risks as there is more time for contams that do exist to take hold, but if you're new to agar (or LC), you could JUST as easily contaminate your jars by sub-par agar practices. I've personally done dozens of spore-to-grain grows with no contam,and only 1 grow that DID contam. If you're trying to learn agar, but want something sooner, just do spore-to-grain and ignore the flame from some of the snobs. Then agar the next ones.

The larger benefits I find to doing agar is the encapsulation that you can have with it. For example, I have a very limited amount of space right now for growing.
I have 2 shelves:

1 with grain jars + agar + shoebox sized bulk containers
1 shelf with my fruiting chamber.

If I inject my grains with spores, then I have a bunch of grain jars sitting on my shelf for a month colonizing, which takes up a lot of space. however, if I use agar, I can keep the agar in smaller containers until I have room to move them into a larger grain jar. Then I can keep the fully colonized grain jars until I make a new shoebox, and keep the fully colonized shoebox until I have room in my fruiting chamber.

When I harvest a crop, I remove it from the fruiting chamber, move a new bulk container in, make a new bulk container with grain jars, and new grain jars with the agar. This means I have to wait less time in between harvest.

That's really where I find the biggest advantage to agar. If you have a problem with spore-to-grain contams, agar can be beneficial, but if you can't grow without agar, then agar isn't going to be the deciding factor =/

I'm not a fan of MS to grain either, but I don't like to pretend I haven't had success with it. A "hobbyist" can definitely grow themselves a nice personal stash with MS to grain. I guess I don't like to be elitist.

doing things the correct way is 'elitist'. ive done plenty of ms to grains. that does not make you a 'hobbyist'. it makes you a noob.

If you do it, do it as a side project and go into it assuming it will fail. THERE WILL BE BACTERIA CONTAMINATION! No getting around that, some will be worse than others. Some will fruit while some will go green.
