I know how to fix a flat, and usually ride on 32mm tires that I can take off without tools, I can replace a tube on some bikes in less than two minutes. If I flat I start walking home, its happened number of times, its really not that big of a deal. People normally stop and offer a tube. It would have been nice to run into CAT7RDR the other day, I needed a spoke wrench and nobody I asked had one. bet he would have been happy to help
It's not unfair. It's accurate. And it's easy to correct.
You shouldn't be getting tubes from other people. Unless, it's like an emergency.

Too many of your threads are like this.
- You know it's an issue.
- You ask whether it's an issue (after knowing it is)..
- People confirm it's an issue and then you whinge about it and want to "do your own thing" and say that they are all wrong while going on about how great a rider you are.
This nonsense might have been somewhat excusable at first but you show no growth/development.
Put more effort into joining the world of adults.
