Does your glider have a CG Hook?

You just hit a pet subject of mine.

All glider tie-down systems, particularly permanent tie-downs, should include
an attachment to the tow hook. I have seen at least two otherwise properly tied
down gliders ruined by being blown over backwards by thunderstorm winds. In my
judgment, both of them would have survived had there been a tie-down anchor
attached to the tow hook.

Why would you NOT attach a tie-down to the strongest, most convenient point on
the airframe?
