I know I personally haven't taken any straight exams (CLEP/DSST) myself yet, but I think I'm in a tiny minority, and that is going to change as I move from the ASBA to BSBA. For my part so far though, I'll directly address your points. Understand I'll be blunt, no offense intended.
Strongly disagree once you factor in study time. SL almost doesn't require any.
I doubt it. How can they be easier (to pass) than a course where 70% (or more, up to 100%) of your grade is based on open book exams? How can they be easier (to take) than sitting at your computer in your skivvies at midnight?
Not a concern for me personally.
No offense, taken. Everyone has their reasons for what works for them.
For "easy" let me provide more context. What I meant was more of approach. Me personally (again, not passing judgement), I used to read/listen to either a text-book or other study material when I was working out, traveling, in bed, etc. For me, this is a lot easier than going through SL exercises.
CLEPS Passed: 10 DSST Passed: 11 TECEPS: 1

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.
