Self-deploying long-range (>50 nm) mines based on slow-moving electric torpedoes are more of a "super mine" than a simple bottom mine.

Their deployment won't be noticed, their point of impact cannot be read out of radar logs, and when a narrow path was cleared by minehunters the self-deploying naval mine can relocate into that supposedly safe lane.


Something like gliding Quickstrike may be fine for closing a harbour entrance for a few hours or days, not so much for a general mining campaign.
