Flat protection comes at the cost of weight and rolling resistance. The fastest road tires save over 15 watts compared to durability focused tires. If you live in an area with goatheads and you want to ride a light tire,
there is nothing you can do.

Uhh, wut? You must have a really nice setup in the cave you just emerged from if you've never heard of tubeless. Which the top 6 fastest tires and 7 out of the top 10 are on BRR, i.e., that same website you linked.
