You’re only anti-innovation if the hubless wheel is innovation.
I’m with you, looks cool but impractical. Most of the bicycle concepts with hubless wheels get lots of other things wrong- geometry, gearing, brakes, no cable runs etc.
Also the BMX you’ve posted and todays Core77 example, the ‘axel’ (where the wheel joins the frame and fork) are in stupid places- any stone on the road or curb would smash into the frame.
This is wheel innovation (rimshot):
