bottling from a keg? now you are packaging the beer twice, that is more effort
and you still gotta deal with bottles
regularly cleaning the lines and valves is effort
replacing equipment that wears out or breaks is effort
troubleshooting keg equipment issues can be a real hassle
a bad or leaky regulator, foamy wasted brew, metallic taste etc. etc. a bunch of crap can go wrong
kegged beer quality drops off after 6 to 8 weeks so you are forced to drink it fast and only in your own house, there was a guy on here who had to stop kegging because he was becoming an alky
you are just trading one type of effort for another and adding a bunch of equipment and complexity for what benefit - I don't see it
why add unecessary complexity unless that complexity is perceived as cool
or you run a brew pub
