I was thinking more of the acoustic advantage of having a non spike set in the listening room.

Perhaps it has to do more with 'sub woofer' sales, and not actual high fidelity to the ear.

No, I don't think so. It just to preserve your floor.
For example, imagine a wood floor of many bedroom. It would be badly damaged using spikes, so a different type of feet is recommended, that's all.

Or, perhaps just let the loudspeakers sit on the floor, on some of that blu tack, (or if wealthy a section of rubber mat).

How do they fit them to the loudspeakers of the idiot upstairs, drilling some holes through the floor ?

It would take some precision kit to get the placements just right.
