You're assuming all the sweepers are flying to exactly the same place... Another advantage of using 20 tiny ships instead of 3-4 more expensive ships, is that they are harder to intercept,

IMO this is a moot point. Because ot the "split fleet dodge" exploit it is IMPOSSIBLE to prevent minesweeping. I too can do that with 10 shielded DDs, split into 4 groups (3/3/2/2), where 3 and 3 retreats, 2 and 2 moves in. But in this case ALL my ships survive one minehit, also a detonating one.
From my POV using unshielded FFs just makes sweeping more costly and the game more MM-intense. To both issues I developed a very low tolerance.
