I agree. For example, I would be uncomfortable driving on forest service
roads, out where tow trucks charge $100s to make a trip, without a spare
tire.

Why would you. It a spare?
Not sure what that means.
I have had like 2 flats in 45 years
You must live where the roads are always smooth. Here in Ohio, where every
spring renders up a new batch of street canyons (AKA potholes), I'd say that
the majority of times that I've had a vehicle mechanical failure that took
me off the road, a tire has been involved.
Sometimes the tire was repairable, but without even trying hard, I can think
of 4 times that the tire was trashed and I had to replace it.
There does seem to be a trend toward dispensing with spare tires on EVs,
sometimes replacing them with cans of fixaflat and an air compressor. I
don't know whether that's also a trend in ICEVs. Either way, I'm not too
keen on it, but maybe I'm just a curmudgeon.
