There is absolutely no downside to having these things on a road bike, gravel bike, yada yada.
So here's a snapshot of what the added bosses look like as examples (ignore the BentoBox mount). So, from pure vanity/aesthetic standpoint, I wouldn't want them if I never intended to use them. Maybe the question I should ask, is if I don't have them put in when the frame/bike is made, is adding these something that a number of places could do after the fact, if for example, I only decide 5 years from now that I want one or all 3 of these mounts installed?

Ahh.. Excellent point! I may reconsider
