It is.
My Renovo R1 wooden bike project and the reason for my passion for all that is wood.

I am sure they are safe for their intended audience, that is for lighter riders who are not so hard in equipment. For 100+ kg riders like me, the factor of safety goes down significantly.

Would you then need a spanner to open the skewer in the event of a puncture. How much does this spanner weigh if you have to carry it? No point in loosing weight in place to add it on in another.

I love the feel of ultra-light alu axle skewers during out of the saddle up hill 2000W sprints of my 100 kg body* and 5 kg bike - it feels solid ... or not.
* this is for a hypothetical 100 kg rider, as neither the body mass nor wattage are mine
yeah, but we weight our bikes, not whats in the back of our jerseys, right?
we're talking about an equally light tiny spanner. I personally carry an oldschool keychain with slots for maybe 5-8 keys - 3 occupied. That also carried my cards, id & cash. so for me, its not a big deal.
