Like I say, with the Schwalbe Pro Ones that is changing now, but it will take a while for that to sink in and have an effect. Even so, at most it is only a small weight advantage for tubeless now. A little less than the weight of the tube per wheel, and then only if you use a minimum amount or no sealant at all. Your 100-150 g/wheel is a grossly exaggerated.
Actually you could and I proved it, it was the Sector 28, and I also annihilated your argument because you were comparing apples to oranges meaning, show me any conventional clincher/tube with the level of flat protection that tubeless offers, and to this day tubeless still outclasses the old convention by a wide margin.
