You have spare wheels now, which can be handy for keeping, eg. a wider set of more durable tires for training or light gravel purposes, or if you break a rim / spoke / whatever but still need to go riding. Or, for instance, I just built myself a gravel bike out of repurposed parts and a new frame - mismatched wheels but it looks good.

Most manufacturers will save on wheels on everything which isn't top spec stuff. Buying something midrange and then eventually adding a pair of LB wheels is a lot more affordable route to get what is all in all a really good bike.
