I think we forget that most half-ton trucks on the market come with "P" rated tires when new. And those tires must handle the tow rating as supplied by the manufacturer.
Exactly - well put. Maybe the engineers at the manufacturer possibly know a thing or two - it is not all marketing. Concur with the rest of your post as well.
For me my 1/2 ton is my daily driver and with the tires I have on it now I have no need nor intention of putting any LT tires on it even if they are Michelins. I also feel very comfortable jumping in it and towing anwhere I need to go.
