I can understand someone complaining about setting them up, inflated and sealed, sealant added the first time. But after that it’s all puppydogs and hummingbirds. If they’re not enjoying their newfound comfort they did something wrong or just like to complain.
I never ride tubeless, so I have no relevant knowledge, but I've long ago stopped considering other people's opinions about what rides good or bad. The problem is that riding quality means different things to different people, we all seem to mind or appreciate different things. I also think with things like tires that the placebo effect is huge. I'd probably bet money people couldn't tell the difference between otherwise identical tubed and tubeless if they can't check to see what they're riding. Setting up that test sounds like a lot of work, though.
