I don't think anyone is suggesting that under certain traction circumstances there is no benefit of four wheel drive in a pick up truck. Not speaking for anyone else, I've not found the necessity for 4x4 in all the years of normal, all around year driving, even for the northeast weather conditions which can in some years be severe. Knowing I have one less driving axle also instills good judgement which prevents me from cavalierly accepting that all driving conditions will always be conducive to my two-wheel drive vehicle.
Conversely, based on my experience I've found that on some occasions some folks with 4x4 pick ups have been unexpectedly bound to the terafirma because of their over confidence in 4x4.
Knowing the limits of one's equipment usually prevents difficult situations.
