I never had a 5th wheel tailgate and have never had a problem hooking or unhooking. As everything else about hauling a 5er around putting the gate up or down has become a habit just like raising or lowering the front jacks and so on.
Also, and the main reason, As a fulltimer I have no where to store the OE tailgate. Not everyone buying a used 2500HD is going to use it for hauling a 5er and they quite possibly would want the standard gate that came with the truck.
