You could walk home the winning run. What else?

It's not just the possibility of the walk. It's the batter knowing you can't walk him, which gives him a significant advantage, especially if he gets ahead in the count.
And as mentioned, HBP is a concern. There are also things like catcher's interference, dropping the 3rd strike, and probably other oddball situations which are rare, but you never know.

Did you just make this first part up?
How do these disadvantages compare to having a force at every base? Because, just intuitively, I'd say having a force at every base>>>>>all the rest of this crap, the only meaningful thing being you could walk a guy.
