A benefit of track ends is that if you are the sort of person that has no interest in looking after your bike you can just keep moving the wheel back as the chain stretches and the gears wear away. As long as slightly more than half the nut is in contact with the dropout you are fine This also works when fitting an over sized tyre. I don’t recommend either of these things, but it’s fine
