If barbell and landmine deadlifts were equivalent, then yes, the free version would be better. But I agree with you. That argument alone is not a good answer.
All that being said, can anyone comment on how well this works as a front squat variant? Compared to a basic front squat, this would have you pushing more forward than straight up. It would be more challenging to start the exercise with a heavy load if this was on the ground. And I've found that it's ideal to make traditional barbell squatting variants my bread and butter.
Adding in different variants, especially as secondary or accessory exercises, seems to be a good compliment to basic front and back squats with a barbell. Squats like overhead, goblet, belt, and Bulgarian split, along with various lunge and step up variations. Also, different squatting variants can be helpful for those with injuries or mobility issues. Simply changing the mechanics a bit might allow someone to get a good range of motion with little or no discomfort.
