If you can tune a 2 stroke by ear you can do a 4 stroke too
For the vast majority of us that is simply not easy to do. If I can accept that you're special enough to be able to do it, why can't you accept that most of us aren't?
Err.. maybe coz most of the people I know can tell the difference between a rising pitch and a falling one? We've got 230 members at my club and I've never seen anyone use a tacho to tune any engine... glow, diesel, or gas. That being said, if you need a tacho to tell you if it's getting faster or slower then go for it but I think it's you who's not doing people any favours by making tuning an engine seem harder than it is. I really don't mean to offend you in any way but it's just not difficult, you just turn the knobby thing in till the engine noises starts getting lower instead of higher then turn it out a little bit. It's not rocket science...
