Some hitches are a pain to remove and insert. Especially as parts rust. It's also a convenient way to save your bumper from being tapped in parking lots.

Removing a hitch offers the opportunity for maintenance. A little fluid film and away it goes. But yeah, i completely agree on your second point. Backing in and over sodewalks with a shin level hunk of steel is someone elses price to pay for a bumper possibly getting exactly what it was designed to do. The best prices are the ones others have to pay. And as a bonus, the physically dusabled might not be able to use some sidewalks, amd as a red blooded christian, nothing makes us happier.

The hitches in these pictures are egregious and shouldn't be left on, but even so, if they didn't back in past the sidewalk it wouldn't be a problem.

But they did. Every single individual example in this photograph DID back past the sidewalk. And from personal experiences, more will than wont.
