> Takes less time to put a breakpoint then to add (and later remove) temporary print statements

Temporary? Nah, you leave them in as debug or trace log statements. It's an investment. Shipping breakpoints to a teammate for a problem you solved three months ago is a tedious and time-consuming task.

Anyway, breakpoints are themselves quite tedious to interact with iterative problem solving. At least if you're familiar with the codebase.
