Why? If the drugs are in his house he is responsible. Unless there is some strange law that says the suspect has to be home when the search is performed. I don't see why that would be the case.

Second, even if he leaves the house they still have to serve the search warrant, and they still go in gun blazing expecting issues.

Ya, but I think there will not be as many issues when there is no one home. lol. Do you think they can't do some surveillance on the place or investigate a little to determine who is in the house?

Third, you are also assuming they could "arrest him later in a safe environment". When you say "safe environment" do you mean when they attempt to serve an arrest warrant at his work place when he is armed? Or do you mean when he shows up to find his front door busted open and six people going through this stuff?

I mean just about any situation that doesn't involve busting through a window like a burglar. Hell, a regular traffic stop would do the trick. Wait for him to get in his vehicle at his parking lot at work then box him in and draw down on him with their guns. Just about any scenario I could think of is safer than crawling through a window at 5 am. That's why there's a dead cop and 3 others shot. Do you really think this guy was just some insane cop killer that would kill any cop who farted in his general direction? Or do you think maybe he thought he was being robbed?

I'm sorry, but when police are expecting problems, resistance, or gun play they go in at 5am with flash bangs hoping to surprise everyone and catch them off guard.

That seems to be working out great for them.
