I feel like I'd have an incredibly hard time adjusting to the front-loader design - is there a significant advantage to it over towing a trailer or buying a longtail?

It's the slap a kids safe sticker on it and call it a day. But vs towing a trailer. You get better braking if your trailer does not have a breaking system (do they exist?).

Cars last a long time now ... don't require you to maintain it...

That other guy's Car vs Bike premise is a bit of a weird comparison, but I think this 10 year old car dying scenario is pretty absurd outside extreme cases.

So that's not true. The cars that drove without needing to maintain them were make in the mid 90's to mid 00's. And that's if you purposely want it to die. Car design took a nosedive with cost savings and fuel efficiency / power generation. But then again the guy saying a bike needs to be minimally maintained probably isn't daily riding every day.
