Agree. However, my assumption that students who enroll for DE credits are ready for them. I also assume that students who take AP classes are also ready for them and do not do it just to look great on paper for colleges.
The above examples with AP classes experience (both real life and not hypothetical) are examples of wasted time with AP classes of very smart students ready for college classes.
If I can see some value in repeating Physics or Chemistry, I can see 0 value in repeating American Government for the STEM student 
. Sorry… (Note for OP. I hardly can imagine a public university that will not take American Government from another 4 year college! So this is a safe DE credit.)
