They are slower to heat.
They are more expensive to operate.
They are more fragile.
They rely on complex electronics vs. simple mechanics.

You're in an apartment, carpets are cheaper than a hard surface floor for the price point of an apartment. So anywhere where a hard surface isn't required, wall to wall carpet will be put down.

Am I hauling crap from Home Depot every day? No. But two or three times a month I need to move a bunch of stuff, be it lumber, mulch, or doors. So I have a vehicle that can do that, because not having that capability would cost more per month in rental or delivery fees than having that capability costs me.
I always make sure I end the year with a zero PTO balance (no rollover) and I make sure that I encourage my employees to do the same.
