I think the argument James is presenting applies to folks like me, a 57yo guy 
who's been riding tubed tires for decades and knows what the deal is with them. 
As I've expressed before (probably in this thread, definitely on this forum), I 
struggled to figure out tubeless tires on a bike I owned and kinda threw in the 
towel..tubes work and I understand them. 

But the reality is tubeless has weight and tire advantages that are noticeable 
on a ride, it's not something arcane like buying a rear derailer with a few 
grams knocked off. So I watched the Analog live thing on Instagram yesterday 
and learned a bunch. What was more interesting to me than the project itself 
was how easy it was for folks with no tire changing/mounting experience to 
follow. I could "see" them not having to unlearn stuff I know so they could 
learn a new thing, they just got the new thing as though that's the way it 
works. It helped a LOT for me to watch it from their POV. 

I thing tubeless makes sense, even if some folks are happy with their tubes. I 
like friction and indexing, too 😉
