I think if you fishing on a boat it definitely makes more sense to just change lines, plus you actually can't have a spare rod lying around when there are 2 guys on the boat.
Thing with a tube is that it ain't as easy to change lines as space is limited, you end up having almost your entire rod submerged and it is just a matter of time before you lose a rod. The second rod is also out of the way. I find on a tube you move around a lot more(types of structure) and I swap lines regularly so for me it is easier to swap rods and not change lines. I also am a bit of a line snob, I have a rod dedicated to fishing my floating line, I don't like to fish an inter or sinking line on this rod
