Fenders have all the same problems as kickstands:

1. They add weight
2. They might not be useful in all cases
3. They might be unnecessary in some cases, e.g., if you never ride in the rain
4. They might impale you in a freak crash
5. Your bike might be too precious or delicate to support fenders
6. Your bike might fall over while equipped with fenders, and get a boo-boo
