My truck never sees 5500 rip'ems, so the points close just fine.
I set the dwell and swap them out every 5 years, or so.
For performance setups, which your truck is not, point's are terrible.
For daily driver setups, points are more maintenance.

Sure, they work fine for you. So did DC3's since world war two, to this day. Doesn't mean a 737 isn't a better machine performance wise.
