It's not very adaptable, whereas --eval allows you to run an arbitrary
form.

Sure, and how would you use it say in shell scripts, in which these
%u/%U/%f/%F constructs do not exist?

What about --setq args "(list %U)"?

That's over-engineering IMO.

No, emacs only has --funcall: call Emacs Lisp function FUNC with no
arguments.
