Stripping them off plants, yeah thats just damaging the plant itself and is shitty behaviour.

Off the ground? Now its crossing from damage into being pedantic about stuff that would go into a mulcher.

And I highly doubt that those with the patience and skill to propogate make up any significant margin whatsoever.

    In my limited experience (I found a succulent leaf on the street) the only skill one would need is to remind themselves to water it, like once a week maybe. All you have to do is drop it into a pot with some soil and water it every now and then. Maybe some succulents are more finicky though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    *Also, it's pretty cool to watch. Like the original leaf slowly shrinks and dries out as the new leaves are formed.

    Yeah, I've got a couple succulents, and leaves will fall off and propagate on their own in the pot pretty often. All they really have to do is fall stem-side down into the dirt and it'll grow roots and form a new plant. I just gave my buddy a small jade plant that grew from my larger plant that was originally itself a small auto-propagation from my dad's plant.
