Why's 12 point so bad? I thought it's more desirable

You are right 12-point wrenches. They are mostly universal while the the 6-point wrenches are rare and expensive. The 6-point wrench would also be much harder to use in tight spaces.

I'm no mechanic, but as far as I've heard, it's easier to strip a bolt using 12 point wrenches/sockets. On the other hand, I think 12 point can give you a better grip?

The reason to get these is because they are NOT a Kershaw knife. Variation is good.

I’m not disagreeing with getting a 16mm wrench, but wouldn’t the smaller 5/8” actually be tighter on a 16mm bolt, therefore lessening the potential of rounding a head. Granted, it would have to...

Except that is an "urban legend" that is false. Contact area is essentially the same, which is why mechanics and engineers say that 6 pt vs 12 pt makes no practical difference.

Except that is not correct, no difference between 6 and 12 point in how likely they are to round a fastener head. See prior discussion in this thread and studies to understand why that is the fact.

You left this part out when quoting me: "The difference is .005", which is about the thickness of a sheet of paper." All wrenches have far more slop than that.
