I used to think like you. I raced for years with post at full height. I didn't
even use a quick release as I was a weight weenie. It did make me a better
rider as I had to be very careful with line choice.
I also felt it was a big weight penalty to pay.
Well, my latest bike came with a dropper and I am now a convert. coming from
flat to a long technical climb, I can lower it just a bit for better mobility
over obstacles. I can drop it full at the top of a climb for the technical
descent. And them back up for any climbs after that without killing my flow or
momentum.
I have also changed my weight weenie ideas about tires and have found the
wonder of fatter stickier tires that may weigh more but offer so much more
traction.
