From a consumer and enthusiast perspective. I have nothing but good things to say.
Good counter argument, is the swirls/marring you talk about on the coating only yeah? That makes it worthwhile as the coating takes the beating not the clearcoat.
The biggest con is that to many people think they are bullet proof and to many installers do not educate their customers.
One "Pro":
Many Coatings will actually have a: Measurable Thickness.
One "Con":
The unraveling of the mystique surrounding
their prep & application processes.

Say what you must...about manufacturers' claims...I am doubting this manufacturers claim more and more as I read things like, "add a few drops for the next panel" from Optimum.
A drop from an IV can be calibrated between 10 and 60 drops o'er ml...so using the biggest drop possible; there are 100 drops in 10ml of an Optimum coating. "A few", means three to me, so you should be able to coat 30 panels with 10ml (using 10 drops to prime the applicator)
Based on the math above, you should be able to coat 3 average sized cars with 10ml
At that application rate, the thickness of the coating would NOT be measurable
You can claim that a little goes a long way OR you can claim measurable thickness....you can't have both

But I still stand by my original posting of what
I consider to be a Coating "Pro":
And:
I'm not asking anyone to take my word for it...
Here's a documented example of said Measurable Thickness, by a well respected Professional Detailer:

Harks back to my previously stated Coating "Pro".I do believe that anything you apply to paint has the potential to add thickness
