the difference is that it works for situations that people care about and 
that it is far too time-consuming to even consider using with film.

What you're doing does not mean that  digital has 15 stops of latitude.
You are combining several exposures to give an effective range of fifteen
stops.  A big difference.  Plus, the technique is practically worthless 
for
many types of photography, such as when there's subject movement, like in 
a
portrait where the subject's facial expression may change slightly with
each exposure, or while photographing sports, or "street photography," or
... well, I'll let the reader fill in the blanks.  At least you qualified
your comment somewhat <LOL>
