You can tap and immediately slide without lifting your finger to do that! I feel the same way and this is the closest thing the touchbar has to a killer feature.

I can just tap/hold F1 and F2 to control brightness, and same for F11/F12 for volume. Isn't it more effort to tap the correct spot on a touch screen and slide than simply press a key?

That's personal preference! I've found the sliding to be faster and more precise in my day to day usage but I wouldn't expect everyone to feel the same way.
