In the end, I say it's super practical and a good compromise for someone who
may not be able to afford high-end wood flooring or can't do the install

And good for rental property too maybe? Where its

Maybe, maybe not. Here in the sandy Coachella Valley, they don't
offer it as a flooring option because the sand will abrade it
mercilessly. Laminate is tough, but there is a limit. Sand will wear
down ceramic tile, after all. But in places that don't have a lot of
sand, it should work well.
