The tailgate step does have it's uses, but there are times I need or want to get into the bed of my truck with the tailgate in the closed position. The GM bumper steps work well in my opinion, and after having them consider it to be a great way to access the bed. If it was an option to have the tailgate step or the bumper step, I'd choose the bumper step. Plus what happens to the tailgate step once the tailgate gets bent a little, as you see all the time on trucks that are hauling materials. Not knocking the tailgate step, just another way of looking at it.

Actually the step in front of the license plate is just as effective as the corner steps.

No it isn't. Haul something that extends past the tailgate and the step in front of the license plate is useless. Have had scaffolding planks in the bed that extend 2' past the end of the tailgate. No way to use the center step to get into the bed. Corner steps still work. That's just one example, there are others.
