Not sure why anyone would weigh daily so I agree that should never be needed. And, as you say, a glance at the TPMS does the verification.
I do think we're trying to say the same thing.
I, however, prefered a fully loaded four corner weight so I could verify weight distribution across axles. I do understand that I could guess and just add a few PSI more and probably not destroy the earth.
However, I also prefer giving newbies the clinical method for any tasks as learned from the folks that make the products they're trying to fiddle with, whether it's mixing a good martini or tying shoelaces.
It's up to the owner to use or abuse his own equipment once he gets familiar with it, as we all do.
