Those plastic sockets at jacking points are not super strong and can be destroyed (especially on older cars). Just recently had to replace them as a couple of them were completely gone and others half way out. Most likely the final touch was done by my local BMW dealership when they were doing a recall

Really doubt they were using adapters
That been said, I always use adapters when lifting my cars up.
But would I be bothered by a tire shop not using them? Nah, I don't change tires that often
