That's true but there are things that can be done
The cooler you keep the belt in the first place the less
heat it produces. It slips very little if clean and the contra cams spring and veriator face are in good shape

Chain on the other hand has vibration problems
also has slipping even if it's moved of to the clutch
and does not self adjust for stretch
Also has compression loses to the rubber bumpers in the wheel
It will last only about as long as I can get one of my belts to
Belt start at about $5 and a good quality belt is about $35
A cheap chain for a little bike starts at about $20 if you want a good one
Well... It's not uncommon to spend $150
And it heavy
Pros and cons on either drive
