It is also a huge safety issue on road bikes. You do not want it coming loose and coming down while you are going 20+mph, either solo or with a group.
But yeah, If I stop at the store or coffee shop with my road bike, it gets leaned up against a wall- no reason to have a kickstand.

I am partial to the uncluttered look and have bad memories of unruly kick stands in my youth... I am always locking my bike to something that holds the bike upright. Just a choice to forgo the kick stand.
I can see how a kick stand would be handy for some. The click stand sounds pretty cool.
Opinionated, judgemental, males just like to make noise.
