The efficiency argument is brought up a lot, but it ignores that

Energy is cheap, Storage is expensive.

If storing a KWh of power costs 50 Cent in a battery and 5 Cent in a fuel cell, then it doesn’t matter if you pay 10 or 20 Cent per KWh of fuel.

Of course this is an example with made up numbers, but the point is valid.
