Well, plain and simple, you're putting more pixels on the subject with the stitch. If you had made the second photo with a non-TS 24mm and had to perspective correct/crop/etc to make it architecturally correct, it would look far far worse than the shifted version. Imagine making the stitched version with a 200mm lens instead of a 50mm. You bet the top of that tower is going to look amazing!
From a practical standpoint, most of the exterior architecture I photograph is lit, so stitching unnecessarily just adds a substantial layer of complexity. On occasion, I'll do some stitching WITH shift, which removes some of that complexity, but if you were faced with lighting that same photo, I'm willing to bet that 10 times out of 10 you'd do it with the TS instead of the stitch
