A) I don't trust my tune to hold up in real world driving conditions
and
B) I'm never going to know about, or correct things like part-throttle lean/overboost conditions

There's more to a car than full throttle and idle
Yes, that is why we own a Dyno Dynamics also. Sweep tuning is loaded also, if there was no load at all, then it would go from 2000RPMs to 7000RPMs almost instantly. In the real world, a 30psi Honda does not stay at 7000RPMs for 30 seconds like it can during steady state tuning either. On high HP turbo cars, you have to constantly fight heatsoaking of the intercooler and coolant. The real world can actually be easier on the car than what you could do to it on the steady state dyno.
