I was in my local Kragen today, and saw something new (to me, at least):

It appears to inject tire sealant and inflate at the same time. Not sure if this is necessary -- it does save a step, right? -- but I would think that it would help those with non-run flats and without a spare...

More info available here and here.

Seems to me that the sealant would also seal the delivery hose as well. Which would mean limited use.

yes, that does seem possible...

but don't you think that the company might've taken the extra design step to ensure there wasn't any clogging?
