So fill us in on how removing a set of points increases operational
flexibility then.

It doesn't.

But the cost of that operational flexiblity is increased disruption
(points fail more often than plain track) and increased cost (points
need more maintenance then plain track).

If they're clipped out of use most of the time they can't fail short of a
rail breaking.
