>>time
A fish filet can be pan-fried in about 5 minutes. It takes three or four times that long just to preheat the oven, let alone actually cook it.

>>energy
Spend away if you want to, but its still a disadvantage.

>>smoky flavor
I agree, not all fish benefit from that. But nearly all benefit from a good sear, and that has nothing to do with "smoky".

>>some fish have shitty skin
very very few of them.

>> don't bake fish if you want skin?
Right.

>>its a much more gentle heating
Right. That's part of the problem--it won't get you a sear or crisp skin.

>>It works very well for plenty of fish
Sure. But there are always other methods which work better.

People who refuse to get out of their comfort zone of the oven confuse me. It's like someone refusing to use the internet or smarphones and insisting on using pic related because "it works well". Willful and deliberate ignorance is a sad thing.
