Squeaks? If your chain squeaks it's probably because those weak derailleur springs aren't providing enough tension or maybe you have one of those tortured chainlines typical of derailleur setups.
I never lubricate my chains and they never squeak.

To me that seems much more complicated and involves more tools then removing a QR wheel. You can remove a QR wheel in under 15 seconds.
That's because the video is showing dumb dumbs how to fully remove the wheel. It's equivalent to removing the wheel plus derailleur...you don't need to do that if you're just changing a flat.
Once you have the wrench in your hand, it only takes 15 seconds to loosen the axles (and getting the wrench doesn't take any extra time because you need your tire irons anyway).
