Additionally, tires filled with air can be dangerous over or under filling them.
Filling tires at too high pressure can lead to blowouts.
Filling tires under pressure leads to degraded performance handling issues potentially causing accidents in some cases.
A more consistent normalized baseline performing tire, even if louder, would be welcome. This would end the seasonal low pressure tires in winter due to the cold and higher pressure during summer due to the heat.
One time we got new tires and went on vacation and parked our car in an outside parking garage in a hot summer for a week, we came back and the side facing the sun the tires had exceeded PSI max and started to buckle. I am sure we have all seen those videos of people standing over tires and overfilling them leading to essentially a pressure bomb. Managing air pressure in tires can be problematic, airless tires are a welcome innovation.

I have no idea of the overall impact (pardon the pun) of this, compared to increased safety of (louder) tyre performance, but probably worth considering. > Managing air pressure in tires can be problematic, airless tires are a welcome innovation. True, but modern cars have inbuilt pressure sensors, and these can be retro-fitted relatively cheaply.
