Does the perfect travel backpack need tuck away straps?

As a constant optimizer for lightweight I am looking at every feature very critically. To me, every zipper, strap, cord and piece of fabric needs to have a profound justification. In my opinion “tuck away straps” is a feature that no one needs in 2023. But maybe I am missing something?
