I felt exactly the same when starting the read, but got to thinking about it more and realizing that people that are through-hiking off the beaten path are trying to cover 20+ miles a day and at that pace, if you have to look down constantly, it's wasting time and dangerous to boot.
I agree that they are perfectly fine on the beach, but keep it on the beach and stop putting them on the ground where people hike.
