Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Would not, because I never take more than one guitar to a gig, and quick string changes are less practical on a Floyd.
Currently not in a gigging band playing guitar so I think Would is more likely to apply at the moment.

I barely use any kind of trem system and the Floyd just seems to limit the ability to swap drop tunings on the fly so why use it? Also in my opinion only, having one fitted to a guitar seems to render the player unable to hear a melody ad instead warbling light speed notes are used in it’s place.
Is it wrong that I want one on my acoustic guitar too?

Why? Great fun and I hate tuning guitars. I would go so far as to say if I had to have a trem guitar, I’d pick a locking system over a Bigsby or regular Fender type, even with the obvious “problems” (no changing tunings or string gauge, awkward double stops etc). If I’m not playing slide I’m in standard tuning 99% of the time anyway.
they are a lot of fun (even though I mainly play Feline Lions for the most part of late)
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Granted, not great for quick alt-tunings on the fly or gigging unless you take a spare, but this is just a great reason to buy more guitars right?
Apart from a Bigsby that I just whack with the palm of my hand for a slight warble.
