I think a lot of this discussion is based on your experience bias. For example, I've always lived in relatively mild winter climates. The furthest North I've lived is the DC Metro area. I've driven in snow many times with all-seasons with no issues even in uncharacteristic snowfall.

Winter tires do not make a lot of sense in these areas. They certainly would be benefit, but not sure they are a necessary expense as long as you know when NOT to drive.
