Probably a combination of fuel savings and safety. The Firestone Tire -
Ford Explorer rollover problem was attributed to low tire pressure.

I believe that your understanding is correct, however, the likelihood that
all four tires will lose air at the same rate is pretty slim.

I've never used any of those products so I do not know if there is any
difference in them. Slime is water based and supposedly sensor-safe. I've
seen tires broken down that had those products inside and they are pretty
messy.
