Been on clipless since they were invented and never had float.
It's not a problem if you know how to set up cleats and pedals...
Incorrect, and one of the biggest myths in cycling. Blanket generalizations regarding biomechanics are usually prone to failure. While the vast majority of people could be fit well with fixed cleats (ahh like my good old clip riding days) there will ALWAYS be someone who will have physical limitations preventing them from being comfortable and fully efficient without float.
