I just fall into the camp of most of us don't ride at the level of needing a supersport tire or our style of riding does not need a supersport tire.
I think it's funny to see riders with supersport tires with ultrasoft compounds on basically street commuters with 3.5" chicken strips on both sides talking about getting those tires cause they needed grip.

Hey- I resemble that comment!
Actually, I get about 5,000 out of supersport rears and 10,000 front, and only 7,500 out of the harder stuff front and rear. Not really worth it to me. I found a tire I like, so I'm sticking with it.
