Other than resale value the only other reason I can see to not want the odometer to to track miles towed would be to more easily track miles for oil changes and other routine service.

Drive train wear is a major concern. It applies not only to oil changes but timing belts, tune ups, etc and these are not affected by towing
Yes tire, shocks will need attention but it is not the same wear and towing should not affect your drive train warranty so it should not show up on the odometer.
