Serious question, why does everyone push dried beans over canned?

I read a comment last week saying canned beans are a rip off and everyone should soak dried ones overnight. I tried that for a month with pintos and black beans, tracked my time and gas money to buy them. After soaking, boiling, and babysitting the pot for 2 hours each batch, I saved maybe $1.50 per meal but lost my whole Sunday afternoon. Canned beans at Aldi cost me $0.89 each and they are ready in 5 minutes. Has anyone else done the math on their actual hourly time with dried beans, not just the price tag?
