Last time I had to wait in immigration line for 4 hours, I missed my connecting flight. My wife waited at my destination for a real long time, got intensely worried and basically was clueless up until I was able to get through immigration and call her. Not exactly a minor inconvenience.

That does point to the other problem, that the U.S. runs a completely incompetent entry process. I'm always embarrassed when non-Americans visit the U.S., because we can't operate an immigration system efficiently. Meanwhile, I fly to Germany and it takes me 15 minutes to go through security and customs, not 3 hours.
