Not all contesters.

The only tube I ever had blow during a contest was a 3CX1200 in my 
Ameritron amp of the same name. It was replaced under warranty with 
no problems. To the best of my knowledge that is the only amp which 
uses one and it (the amp, not the tube) is definitely not suitable 
for legal limit RTTY contesting. Ask me how I know. :-)
