Haha....I agree. Also, most of the time one cannot get to the shrader valve on top of the pressure tank above the water heater. I suppose one could cut a hole in the ceiling and take it out through the attic.....but I do agree with you. Most folks however never even drain their tanks or do much of any maintenance. About two years ago The Villages changed the drain valves of the water heaters....they used to not be straight ball valves and it was impossible to easily drain. I kind of fought for that upgrade.
