I’m sorry, Internet loses all inflection in speech.
It was mostly a joke for myself that I recognized the brand.
I do agree corporations ask too much for not enough.

I didn’t think Stihl needs programmers.
“helps prevent air from escaping from a slightly leaking Schrader valve.”
“Helps” is doing a lot of work for you there. You have a damaged valve and it would need replaced.
It also doesn’t help because the damage to the valve that would come from the moisture from the INSIDE of the tire.
If you’re that worried just buy a 100 pack of valves cores for $5 and just swap them every time you change your tires. You’re vehicle will explode before you run out of cores, and then you don’t need to worry about replacing the $15 fancy caps ever.
I’m a mechanic.
The only thing the cap does is prevent things from damaging the core.
The core is a small piece of metal, spring, and rubber seal. This does all of the work holding air in.
The stem is the housing for the core.
The cap is just protection.
Do an experiment for me. Remove the core and put the cap back on. It will not hold air. Some threads and a piece of plastic that constantly gets removed will not hold air pressure.
Yes, you should have a cap. The cap prevents damage.
I don’t think I’ve stopped in the middle of something without planning on coming back. If something is difficult I’m more likely to do better the next day.
But something that I know I would not have fun with is platinum any Yakuza game. And honestly, I’m glad this game taught me to not worry about not completing things I don’t care about.
