Skipping is cost effective if you're attempting to win with R$ upgrades. 2 skips is much cheaper than 3323233 or even 2 ups. The usefulnes of bot slowing is called into question when the player is way below rec'd PR. When a bot's car has a higher PR (thus higher grip) they can destabilize yours with a slight push, which makes 7.3 and 7.4 difficult. And that's ignoring the difference in accel.

Now, someone who has upgraded their car accordingly shouldn't squander GC on skips. Anyone in that position would definitely benefit from bot slowing.
