Almost forgot about those..
Besides the galvanic corrosion, they have a separate rubber seal. After long enough, it'll degrade, separate from the cap, and get itself stuck inside the valve stem.
I've got some nice-looking anodized red valve caps that are completely worthless. Plain plastic is better.
