Only by those who never use a gas station or auto garage tire filling pump, or ever have the need for using someone else's air pump. Or by those who like to buy an extra pump or more expensive pump to carry.

A 50¢ adapter can be screwed on (and left on) that allows any Dunlop valve to be filled with an auto/bike pump that is fitted for an automobile/schrader valve.
