You are assuming anything people do "suits" them (you/we really don't know).
While gigadeath used overly-absolute language (so what, anyway?), just because the riders you mention here can't fix a flat doesn't mean not being able to do so "suits" them.
Some of them might be unaware that flats are a possibility (or that tires even lose air). (Certainly, the risk varies based on where one rides and the tires one uses.)
Some of the people you assume that not being able to fix a flat "suits" them might be better-off being able to fix a flat. 10 miles is 3-4 hours of walking.
