Every bike Ive ever had came with a standard kickstand. Ive always used them regularly with no issues at all. Decades ago some of the heavy metal ones with springs would spread the spring a little too much over time and the stem would sag. You could tighten them somewhat but at that point if you had another spring fine if not get another kickstand.

I think they (or some other methods mentioned here) play an important part in keeping a bicycle in good shape for years. Too bad my kids never used the ones on their bikes. I couldnt count the times I had to pickup the bike, open the kickstand and stand accordingly. Damn kids lol....
