Existence is empty, but I am full of myself.
Yes, this. There are advantages to clipping in, but there are also those who have biked for years over a gazillion miles on platform or BMX pedals. There is also no shame in waiting to make the move if one wishes. There was a time when I didn't think I would ever move to clipless pedals, but eventually did once I found pedals I liked.
