it's just not worth the hassle of having to deal with messy sealant, leaks and all kinds of other tubeless specific crap which is required...I use tires with puncture protection and I don't get a lot of flats with tubes so that's what I will continue to use.
What hassle? What mess? Install a tubeless valve stem and tubeless tape, mount tire and air it up. Unscrew valve core and add sealant. Reinstall valve core and air tire up.
You know what's a hassle? Having to stop in the middle of a ride, due to a punctured tube, and then having to repair the hole on the tube or change to new tube and hoping the new tube lasts for the rest of the ride. With tubeless it seals right up and you can continue riding.
