Because I have two motorcycles, and the weather has been all over the place lately, so I'm not motivated to run doorless. I take the bike on nice days and Jeep with doors on cold days.

I like having the soft top so I can pop it back in 10 seconds but the weather is always changing, hot cold rain etc and on interstate 4x week, probably not going to remove the doors anytime soon.

I love the concept of removing everything, however, mine is my daily driver and I also don’t park in a garage. Way too much hassle to remove & replace because of weather. I wish they made a decent looking soft top. Maybe then I could just deal with the doors.

I would think that "weather" in your area means about the same as it does to me? When I had my JK I was going doorless for fall and spring for years. I'd just put a bikini top on it and that was enough for the occasional rain here. I don't park indoors either.

Removed and threw away the bolts on my '12 JKR about a month after buying it new.

I don't see myself removing the doors on my JT. If I want that experience I'll just drive the JKR.

I will not remove my doors due to a perfect reason. If my CRS kicks in, don't fasten my seatbelt
and I go around a curve, I don't want to fall out!

Totally get the CRS issue.
I told my wife I would like to do it, but want the door tube for that exact reason.
Someone asked about bolt rust, and there was a reply about lithium grease? I love a product called MagicLube (insert porn movie music here). It`s serious stuff that you only use a little of on anything.
It has some insane temp resistance as well.
