My CFII claimed to be annoyed by the vibration of the spinning gear after
takeoff in a 172. He "taught" me to tap on the breaks so as to avoid this
annoyance.

Franky, I've no idea how he could feel that while sitting behind 180hp of
noisemaker. But it was a nice habit to have when I transitioned to the
182RG which, as you note, requires that treatment.
