Spokes; typically stronger than cast (one reason adventure bikes and dirt bikes run them, excellent strength vs. weight. Having spokes does not necessarily mean tubes. E.g. My Griso has spokes and runs tubeless tires. BMW has done the same. Cleaning; my KZ550 Ltd had cast wheels and was bloody murder on my knuckles. Looks; I really spokes but like well designed cast wheels too. Now, tubes. Not fond of them for the reasons you stated.
