Funny. In the Navy we had to use the tool. Similar but different from the picture. Also had the check valve sealing tool and if you didn't use the tools you could be on a "crap detail" for a lot longer than you wanted to be. Our twisting tools were actually teflon coated too
Either way...

Makes a lot of sense.
Most folks at the Outer Banks carry little valve stem caps that auto deflate their tires to play in the sand. And the smarter ones have a small compressor to pump the tires back up when they leave the beach.
It isn't CTIS, but it is a manual version of it.

I think the idea of super singles might have been lost on folks wanting "them big tires" on their trucks.
The real reason was to keep our active military on top of the sand.
Not to carry more weight.
Look at any concrete company here on our corner of the country. Not much sand over here...
