Genuine question - Why are you adding those small, prone to being clogged airlocks rather than a simple tube going from the cap to a bottle of water?

I see a lot of pictures of mead carboys making a mess by erupting and that never happened to me with a tube. They do eject some foam every now and then but it's always in the water and I made mead for 4 years now.

I'm not trying to be a smarta**, i genuinely don't understand the advantage of the small airlock, other than looking cool?
