I hear what's you're saying. What kills me about these TPMS's is that they don't appear to be mature yet. If my 40-mile commute can result in trashing two of them in two months time (or so), there's no value in keeping them. I consistently visually inspect and test the pressure on my tires, so while the TPMS is a nice alternative, I wouldn't rely on it primarily.

Also, if airbags had a higher failure rating, although I don't know how to draw the parallel, we'd have the lawmakers rushing to the books to do, what else, make more laws. (Useless Idiots).

I'm curious whether other members/owners have encountered these little buggers snapping off inside their rims, as well.
