True, but the "nut" tool is a pain with a socket because you're applying the leverage further out. 40Nm is what I can apply with a lever that length, so on balance I prefer the tool with a handle.
I don't think I've ever needed to remove a cassette from a wheel with a solid axle and without the pin you really need to use the QR to hold it in place, unless skinned knuckles and burred lock rings are your thing!
I suppose the best solution is to have four, to cover all eventualities...

What about the axle of a bottom bracket (square taper) doesn't campagnolo use the same tool for the bb cup as it does the cassette lockring? The guiding pin might cause problems with it.

Maybe we've been led astray for the last 30 years and Uniglide was the right design from the start. No internal thread on the freehub rotor leaves room for a bigger bearing closer to the dropout, and the 1% of people who actually need a huge top gear would be better served by large chainrings than 11T sprockets. No special tools required, and if you're desperate, no tools at all.

Something without a handle is better for mounting cassettes, because you can attach your torque wrench to it.
Unless you ever want to use a hub with a solid axle
