You're lucky you live somewhere where you have the option.
You have the option too... presuming you're referring to regulations and not weather or something else.
Let me pause a second and state that I develop automotive electronics as a job. I'm not a lawyer and I'm not familiar with every regulation in every country... but I say the following with a fair bit of confidence.
In the USA - in general - DOT regulations (or NHTSA, if you prefer) apply to the actions of manufacturers and service providers (mechanics, etc) and not to owners or operators (or aftermarket product manufacturers or suppliers, usually, unless they install - in which case they are service providers). There are certainly exceptions, such as seatbelts, but those aren't directly the regulations but instead laws that in effect broaden the regulations to include operators (ie. it is a DOT violation for Tesla to not provide seatbelts. It is a traffic law violation for you to not use them). For TPMS, The manufacturer has to provide them. Service centers have to supply them. But should you feel the need to drive without them I believe that's entirely fine... you just have to do the dirty yourself. You can't get a tire service center to disable them for you. They can supply you with tires/wheels without TPMS, but they can't install them for you. Actually, that's not quite true... if you removed or disabled the TPMS *prior* to taking the car to the tire store, they can (but will they?) install new tires with standard valves and hand the car back to you with the TPMS warning light on. That's fine. What they can't do is hand the car back to you with the warning light on if it came in with the warning light off. In fact, you run a certain risk thanks to this regulation and its rather silly wording about "make inoperable". Let's say that you bring your car in for a tire rotation and they somehow damage a TPMS sensor and can't get another one for a few days. "no big deal", you say, "I'll bring it back in a few days". Nope... they can't release the vehicle to you until it is fixed. Whether or not they're liable for paying for your alternative transportation... that's probably up to you and small claims (or their sense of fairness), but either way you're without a car for awhile over something trivial.
Incidentally, if someone were to manufacturer the PVC fake-out things discussed above and sell them on eBay... people would scream about how that's illegal. And they'd be wrong. Perfectly legal to make and sell such a device (presuming it doesn't break some other law... ie. you ship them pressurized and get nailed for distributing pipe bombs) and perfectly legal for YOU to install and use it. Even perfectly legal for a tire place to swap your tires with normal valve ones if you brought it in that way.
