Solvers split because they have to contend with more defends and Cr's.
There is benefit to keep dominated hands in and gaining value on Ace and Q turns but the trade off is losing the chance to win the pot immediately and ability to bluff turn and river.
Yeah i mean you dont need to convince me that cbetting flop vs fish is exploitative, I used to have a 90%+ cbet range. Ive lowered my cbetting range to 75-80%, but that dropped flop aggression has just turned into turn or river aggression because a lot of similar errors exist on later streets as well.

Not saying you can't bluff at all if you check it's just that it will be trickier to navigate for a lot of people.
I agree that checking flop is a more advanced line to maximize value and that betting flop is an easier way to profit, and i think the EVs are pretty similar (flop may even be better). Definitely a good argument for betting flop.
My argument moreso is i think theres nothing wrong with checking flop than that its my recommended line or that its the best line.
