My Schwalbe Marathon plus haven’t flatted yet. Of course they ride like crap and are heavy but they don’t flat.

Then it must be true.
These are what I ride. Tubeless. No more trouble with them than any other tire I've tried.

Many people complaining about them on the Weight Weenies forum.

Guess you got lucky.
