- Two piece cranks don't need an extractor
- Threadless headsets don't use a 32mm wrench
- Cartridge bottom brackets don't need a lock ring spanner
- That's not a high quality chain tool and modern narrow chains may not fit
- Cartridge bearing hubs no longer require adjustment with cone wrenches. Many use hex keys for disassembly not cone wrenches.
- Cartridge bottom brackets have no adjustable cup requiring a pin spinner.

OTOH, with a large vintage fleet you need all those things.
I have 5 vintage 1980s Japanese bikes
