If I was getting flats on a regular basis and never removed a tire except when it was worn out then perhaps it would be a good idea. Many of us remove tires to switch from one bike to another, to put a wheel on a truing stand, replace a spoke, ect. Tubeless is just too much of a pain in the ass and will remain a niche deal.

Swapping a tube on the road takes little time and effort.
