I got my first bike with an air shock in 1997.

Same for tires. My tires hold air very well and they don't need to be filled/adjusted every time I ride.
"It's one more thing to have to fill/adjust every time you ride."
Again, if you have to fill/adjust something on your bike every time you ride you're not doing it right.
