Hmmm, valid I reckon but I guess I assumed everyone does what I do if the tire won't fit. I just air it down, remove it, and then air back up when reinstalling. Not something I see as an issue at all since I check air pressure before each ride. Even though I ride pretty much daily I use a lot of latex tubes which bleed air overnight, LOL!
That may not work for everyone but I've never considered it an issue but you may.
