We never had a 4x4 pickup on our place 'till about 68 or so...grandad always claimed you'd get stuck less with a 2wd since you were less likely to try to go places that you shouldnt!
That being said, most of what I drive for work and otherwise is 4x4...and yep, they DO get stuck occasionally too!
As far as tractors, we havn't bought a 2wd since the early 80's(not counting my antiques). The 4x4 ones will just do things so much easier and faster in most cases...however, 90 percent of the time they're doing work that a 2wd could accomplish just as easily....AND, every time they're moving, they're wearing out all those expensive front end parts.....just got a quote for $17,000.00 to rebuild the front end and associated driveline on our loader tractor(JD 7600)....for that money we'd have been better off keeping an older 2wd loader tractor for the majority of the loader work and just using the 4x4 when it was needed.
