Whilst that is no doubt true you are speaking from a position of never having extensively used clipless or clipped pedals.
If you do try them I suspect that you would have a different view point after a while.
As for the expense of trying SPD's- old pair for a fiver from here, and some freecycled shoes?
The cleats will be worn and the shoe's might smell, but you could try it for very little.
