I would be backfilling against a construction tube anyway wouldnt I ?
The ready made could be place on the truck bed and rolled off at
location.

I don't know, but I'm guessing the detracting issues might be:

prohibitively heavy to transport

no practical way to backfill around them with dirt tightly
enough to make them solid supporting structure without
shifting. Poured footing by definition will expand to fit
tightly in any hole.
