We can argue the merits of the Ramboxes forever, the issue is not about their usefulness, it's about them not being optional.
Opinions will always vary but the very last thing I want or need in a luxury truck is a toolbox embedded in the side. This is an absolutely stupid decision to make this standard in this class and is a deal breaker for me. I don't care for the look and it's not that I don't need the functionality but rather I run an aluminum bed cover with a 2000lb rating that makes them unusable anyways.
After owning and loving the features of two RWD Limited's, I'm looking at the RHO for my next RAM, mostly to get away from the damn Ramboxes. I don't want or need a 4x4 either but the RHO currently checks the most boxes for me. Even if I stuck with the Limited, I'd be forced into the H/O and 4x4 as well so I may as well drive a 4x4 that looks like one.
