Spoken in the true manner of somebody that has probably never even seen more then a sprinkle of snow much less drove in it! It would be like me saying that window tint and air conditioning are a waste of money because it really never gets hot enough anyplace too warrant them.
The debate (as I understand it) is not can they be used but which is better. Sometimes the extra costs are well worth the price if you live where there is snow.


Below: 2011, after only 2 hours of snow, no plow for 3 days, wife's 4wd walked out without a pause the same day, Lancer with snows could not get down the street for 2 days!
Not an abnormal situation up here.
