My take on it is this
If you're a healthy injury free lifter then you have no need of wraps or any other aid.
If you find that you need wraps to be able to lift a certain weight then that weight is too heavy for your body to manage.

As you know Bazza, wraps, tape etc. we're used to protect a weak or injured body part, not to make that part stronger.
So then it got taken to the extreme beyond it's intended purpose.
But if that's what people want to do then go for it.
Wraps, sleeves, suits, shirts, steroids, fuck me it's all gone to shit.
I have got a pair of wrist wraps somewhere. I used them for a while when my wrists were sore, but after a while my wrists felt much better so stopped wearing them.
When holding 2+*bw over my face, the last thing i want is a broken wrist. My grip is maximum lehal widtg and are cocked on a very harsh angle which causes pain. The fuck would i not wear them? Same with squats, at 3+*bw the weakest link in the chain is most likely to get injuted, why would i not prevent injury?
no
advantage of straps is that you can have the bar in your hands loaded heavy with a double overhand grip minimising uneven loading of the back and possibility of biceps tears
Sure, I could learn hook grip, but I'm not going to stunt my deadlift progress while I dick around learning something made completely unnecessary by a bit of tow stap
