How many people pull their after market radio after a wreck? If you live, you'll just by another radio.
Yes, my Toyota has the chain lift spare system too. But its marginally better than having to unload the whole back of the tray to get to the spare, like some other pickups.
My Jeep has the crank hole for the spare tire cable winch right under the center of the load space...

That's NOT what happened. All the rocks in the area were sandstone. When I lowered the jack after replacing the tire, because my pickup was at a slight angle, the crumbly rocks didn't like the side load and crumbled. That caused the jack to fall over, and the car to slide sideways (fortunately away from me). Not fun.
The idea of a spare tire should have gone the way of the buggy whip socket. The spare is an indication that the other 4 tires are not to be trusted. Perhaps it might make sense to improve the tire design so that it can be trusted?
There are plenty of good (and bad) ideas on how to build a flat proof tire. In it's simplest form, molding multiple cellular air chambers into the tire, should work. If one section to loses pressure, the other air chambers will provide adequate suspension. There are also inserts of various types: Also, self-sealing tires: and wheels with built in suspension: Any of these would be safer than the current pneumatic tire, which tends to fail catastrophically after a blowout, usually causing a loss of control.
I guess you don't recognize the reference. It was an attempt at humor.
