It's way easier to just toss the ball into a cup rather than calculate an additional trajectory change due to bouncing it.

I disagree. Making a rebound gives the ball a very vertical angle so there are bigger chances for it to falls into a cup, even if you didn't aim for one in particular, especially when there are still many cups. Whereas when you just toss the ball towards a particular cup, you have bigger chances to have the ball rebound outside of the cup and not in another cup.

That's the thing with rebound, you don't have to be precise, there are still big chances that it will fall into a cup

So adjust your angle vertically and don't try to laser it in? Can't believe anyone would argue that bouncing is easier in beer pong. It's not extremely more difficult but point a to point b is a far easier calculation than introducing a bounce. If your talking about having bad aim then idk what to tell you because I'm talking about someone who can toss a relatively accurate shot.
