Why Wire Wheels

So now I’ve had Edna 12 months it’s clearly time to look at a new bike

Question though, I’m looking at Tiger 800 low and Street Scrambler, both have wire wheels and inner tubes, which I’m told are not as easy as tubeless to repair in event of a puncture

So why would Triumph put these on off road type bikes where I imagine a puncture is more likely

Is there a reason or is this style over function

I know there is a road version of the Tiger 800
