Fair enough - I suppose it’s a caution borne out of experience of the awful roads by me - I’ve had a lot of unsealable punctures on the roads near me (from gashes to a bit of glass that wiggled around just enough to not seal).
As a result I always caveat advice to go tubeless - for “proper” punctures (anything more serious than a pin prick or snakebite) tubeless can be a can of worms, and give people a sense of confidence that inner tube users don’t have (wisely).
Granted it’s also down to tyre choice (you can pry my patched panaracers from my cold dead hands) but a tyre pissing sealant and air is much more of a hassle to deal with than an inner tube in my experience.
