I dunno - I'm just quoting from the Porsche literature...
"The central locking device is derived from motorsports. Its advantages include better driving dynamics and performance thanks to lower rotating mass."
I've not been able to find weight specs on the centre locks although HRE Porsche versions are stated to "start at 17 pounds".

You are correct, it's not much weight saved - I think about a pound or two. They are actually not a pain in the *** if you are prepared prior to taking delivery of the vehicle. I enjoy having them. It is definitely different than the standard setup, but not difficult if you have the correct torque wrench. As kosmo said above, the "consumer" market is probably not ready for them.

Looks fairly easy and routine to take a wheel off and on, don't see any real difficulties here.
Here are a couple of newer links I dug up:
