You're wrong. A really good glider pilot could land his glider within a hundred yards of where you wanted infantry. The british did this at Pegasus bridge, dropping gliderloads of troops on top of the bridges to capture them before the Germans could blow them up, even though they were literally wired ready to go already. Nowadays paratroopers with modern chutes can land on a plastic plate, but back then paratroopers were extremely scattershot in deployment.
The real puzzling thing is that the british spent months hand picking glider pilots and soldiers for this D-Day action and then months training them on specially constructed scale models of the bridges and then apparently forgot all of that before Market-Garden.

In some ways they're actually even better than helicopters for point actions like this because they're nearly completely silent, you won't hear a glider till it lands.
