Then again this is a clutch reaction I'm sure I will think of something less stupid later.

If the obstacle was just the rock wall like 2012, treads would make little sense and stocking a billion tread modules would be a painful hit. Similarly, there's almost certainly obstacles that pneumatic tires would be useless against, and stocking enough of those for every team would also hurt. Like Frank said, out suppliers still have to be profitable and make good business decisions. If they can't be certain item X is going to be absolutely necessary, they're not going to stock enough for every team in the world.
