the Dolos kit is a "quick detach" barrel collar. mounts on the upper, and then you basically insert the barrel/upper/gas assembly, turn it and let it lock in place.
It opens the options for vehicle concealment. When I had my silverado, it allowed me to store the entire kit in the front floor storage area under the middle seat section.
If you have a backpack, yes it adds extra "time" to assembling it, but it also allows for more concealment than just folding the buttstock.

FWIW, optics of a situation matter a lot.
I know first hand of people caught in "mostly peaceful protests" that were dragged out of their car. People forget that a gun is an excellent crime deterrent, and an AR pistol will likely serve as a bigger visual aid in that situation.
bigger the gun = less likely to have someone decide to "test" you.
Agreed 100%. I’ve really only felt compelled to “step up” my EDC game once (during last summer’s “peaceful” rioting, as I live near Lansing and work downtown) but I was glad to have my PS90 SBR in a bag when out and about. If I’m surrounded by an angry crowd or whatever I don’t want equivalent force, I want overwhelming force. So much the better for all involved if that helps prove that it ain’t worth it.

I dont think the majority of people running an AR pistol are deploying a sling with it. If its a "backpack" gun to begin with, its kinda redundant. You're not going on patrol with it.
Also, FWIW, I took intro carbine from MDFI last weekend, and the people who struggled significantly with accuracy (iron sights) were both shooting AR pistols. Like anything else, it is a tool. If you dont practice shooting with it, it may become a liability if you ever need it.
Op specified 9mm or 5.56 folder. Not a pistol.
I agree an AR pistol in the cabin pulled out of the center consul is more ominous, but I think if you pull anything 380 or 9mm or larger out and it's clear as day you have a gun ....everyone with out a gun scatters.
I was suggesting from riots I saw stores with two guys on the roof, two guys out front, all geared up, AR or ak on slings, no one gave them a look. It was clear they were not going to let someone mess with their store, but also not hassle people for burning the 7-11 across the street.
Just a rifle in a sling, is like a 9mm pointed at you.
Don't say "a rifle in a sling is like a 9mm pointed at you" in front of the Wayne County prosecutor.
