It is the roadie mentality, have a bike that weighs almost nothing, carry a few things in jersey pockets, and hope you are always lucky. And carry nothing that you do not see racers carry on tv in road races - except of course carry their phone.

Those of us from the touring subset of the bicycling community are more likely to be self-reliant at all times. If we have a flat or a mechanical, we want to get it repaired before one of our friends has an opportunity to take photos of our mis-fortune.
