My expectations of an tent air beam would be...
1/ To survive high winds better than fibreglass poles, as the air tube may well bend in half*, but spring back again, undamaged. That pole would/could potentially snap. Even steel/Alloy may bend (and not spring back, of course).
2/ Not to explode, blister, bulge, or lose it's shape, form, or air pressure, unless subjected to conditions beyond what would be acceptable to camp in... I'm thinking Tornadoes and the like, or being in the Sahara desert for at least two complete and continuous months!
3/ Not to leak air, or to form condensation puddles inside the tent/awning.
4/ Not to emulate the sounds of gurgling babies, gargling gin guzzlers, or farting grandfathers at any point during a camp, except when deliberately deflating.
*I wouldn't expect an air beam to be "constantly around our ears" during a night that experiences max gusts at no more than 50mph. If it happened just once, a quick re-jig of the guylines/pegs/air pressure should ensure it doesn't happen again on that particular night!
