Fist off, this new ability goes far beyond just giving Ben the alien he needs when he used the omnitrix wrong. It gives him the ability to use several powers from several aliens at once. But the reason Ben doesn't use the quick change feature is because, It drains the battery faster, the writers are trying to make it more like the OS (and Ben couldn't do that in the OS), and a few more reasons.
