Ok, honestly, not looking for debate...but I find your post curious...
Am I to take it, that you are saying, pulling up to the ramp, waiting or docking, while someone goes to get the truck, back the trailor down the ramp, load up, secure the boat, cover it, make sure everything on the checklist is complete (I have watched people who trailor, when they launch...seems like a chore, to be sure), and then pull the boat to wherever, in traffic on a weekend...and maybe try to stop for drinks/dinner...so find a place with a big parking spot available. All that is easier than pulling up to a dock, and tossing someone the key???
Maybe, but I don't see it.
