I guess this gets into what we use it for.
Swing DJs don't muck with the sound when we play for dancing. We
typically leave the tips and tails alone (we don't cross-fade, we don't
beat match).

So the only time we slow down is for teaching (and then the preference
is still to find a song of the right speed to teach too ... but
sometimes students aren't ready for the track you picked and you have
to move quickly). In those circumstances, we're willing to give up a
little sound quality for continuity of the class.

But on the weekend I'll pull out my desk and see how "bad" the pitch
correction really is.

Now that I've read how those pitch correction algorithms work, you're
right ... they should have a hard time on sharp transients ... but I
don't remember that. Of course, a rarely used trick may not be well
remembered ...
