The tubeless advantage is (drumroll, please)... Pinch flats.
No. The biggest tubeless advantage is that a small puncture seals itself while you are riding meaning you can keep riding and not have to stop. Or if the puncture is a little larger you may lose some air and have to stop and pump it up a little. The main advantage is less of a chance of having to stop and de-mount the wheel, tire and tube and reverse the process.
This tubeless thing isn't THAT difficult to understand.
