Also trucks hit a lot of mines, etc. After a truck sets off two TDX mines tire shots start getting hard to resist. Also, doesn't the loss of a single 'back' cause a permanent HC loss?

Simple economics also bears on this. A replacement guard is $100, a replacement tyre is $1500 and tyres cannot be repaired. Putting as much sacrificial protection as you can helps put off that expensive day when you decide the tyre damage you have suffered is past the tipping point for replacement.
