Understood. I'm not trying to trash tubeless either, it's great that they work for many people. I just don't want to be forcibly converted by having wheel manufacturers discontinue hook and bead rims and thus mandating adoption of tubeless.
It's like disk brakes: I like them fine on our tandem bike, but they're unnecessary on a single road bike with aluminum rims where I live. If I had carbon rims and/or did a lot of hard braking (e.g. if I lived around a lot of steep, twisting 15 km descents), that would be a different story.
