yeah, a tubeless pinch flat is extremely rare. Running with too little pressure, thin sidewalls, or charging too hard on a tubed setup will get you a pinch flat whereas doing the same on a tubeless setup with get you tire squirm, tire flop, tire burping or peeling the bead off the rim.
You don't seem to have much MTB experience based on your posts - your claims are at odds with what folks have experienced over many decades riding MTBs.

Pinch flatting is rare because of tubeless and plus/fat tires.
This fact is meaningless if someone is running tubed standard-sized tires. So find out before telling someone they are running too much pressure.
And no, this is definitely NOT overthinking. It is a trivial amount of thought that can save someone from fixing flats out on the trail.
I never specified what the optimum is. I stated that early on this thread.
However I do know 30psi + is too much for the normal mountain biker riding single track trail system.
Some of you are overthinking this and it's rare that pinch flatting is an issue these days with the wheel, tire, tube combinations now available and isn't an issue at all if tubeless...which I am on the fat bike and my full suspension bike.
