It's not really that much of a stretch-- my nephew rode MTB for years and years, including 4 years on the High School MTB team, and was tubeless the entire time-- he never had to deal with tubes until he got his first road bike. Mind you, he was born in 1996. It's entirely plausible that tubeless bicycle tires predate the OP's cycling career.
