Only saves time if you consider being in university a waste of time instead of an opportunity to be free to learn what you are interested in and surrounded by like-minded people.

Oh it’s great. But depending on what country you are in, it could be the difference between a lifetime debt, and economic freedom.

University is definitely not a place where you are free to learn whatever you want, unless you already have all your credit points.
FWIW my wife was a fourth-year the start of her second year at uni because she'd tested out of a ton of basics or taken dual-credit courses in high school. I was a fourth-year the end of my second year.
I AP'd my way out of 6 hours of English, 14 or so hours of Spanish, 8 hours of physics, 8 hours of calculus, and a hodgepodge of psych, sociology, etc., plus I'd taken some uni courses as a high school student as well.
I basically spent two years taking nothing but upper div math classes + a year living in Japan working on a second degree.
AP classes, my friend, save you so much time and money.
