Even after the streets are plowed there's still a bit of snow on the main roads and a lot on the side roads. Maybe you live in a place with really mild winters, but my car would have drifted into a ditch many times this winter if I didn't swap my tires.
No one is saying to drive all year with your summers. Those will glass in winter.
Assuming every road you drive on in the winter will be perfectly plowed and salted is a great way to end up in a ditch.
It's a 10% grip difference, which is actually in your favour on cleaned roads and only against you on snow.
I really don't understand how this is so difficult to grasp.
