The problem is that in most new cars have directional tyres and different offsets front and back.
This means you have a 75% chance of the spare wheel being "wrong" for the car and as most people are lazy they will just stick the backward spinning wrong offset wheel on and leave it there.
Well until they have an accident due to blowout, no grip in wet, overheated bearings or whatever and then the insurance does not pay because you have the wrong wheel on.
Space savers are a pain in the bum but will force you to solve the problem correctly as soon as possible.
