That just proves that there is a belief that there is some advantage somewhere for some reason. Road racers spend craploads of money on lightweight wheels, but it's not a financially sound investment for anyone who's not racing. The difference between $1,000 wheels and $10,000 wheels is worth it for Tour De France riders, but not at all for most people.
Just foot retention by itself could be enough reason for professional racers to wear clipless.
