There isnt anything specifically that a hookless design, for a road bike with road bike tubeless tires, improves other than manufacturing cost.
What am I missing?

Dismissive because you are dismission of the benefits.
I did say 80% of the benefit is for the MFG.. but there is still some small benefit for the end user. It's up to you if they are important to you, but you dont get to decide that for...... me.
