I hear what you're saying.
And I agree that tactically SOB is a poor choice when other options are available.
But I don't think it's as poor as often opined.
Personally, I think pocket and ankle carry make accessing the weapon the most difficult.
Just my opinion, that's all.
I don't shoot competitively, but in any range, class, competition etc., it would indeed be a very poor choice
as there would be no way to draw with out sweeping your fellow shooter.

I'm not a fan of either of those forms of carry except for a backup gun, either.

Re: "Small of the Back" holster?

I've got a number of objections to SOB. I've tried it and decided it wasn't the best for me.

1) Possibility of a fall injuring your back
2) Gunfights aren't pretty things. Lie flat on your back with someone trying to pummel you and try drawing from SOB.
3) Where is the most natural spot to draw from? SOB takes extra movements to get to.
4) You pretty much can't bend over without your cover garment riding up and showing it off.

Not a fan, at all.
