Pretty much. My Twin Beech came with a Bruce's canopy cover. To put it on, you need two people, a tall step ladder and dead calm winds. I don't see using it much.For short term over nights covers don't make much sense, there is a risk too if any dirt gets on the thing and grinds into the plexi.
In higher winds unless the cover fits perfect it can actually harm the paint, just look at a car that had one of those "car bras" on, you'll see a worn paint line outline of the thing.
Also you're not going to UV damage from just a couple days.
Unless I had a plane that lived outside, I just put my pitot cover on, maybe toss a soft car sunshade in the windshield and call it a day for the occasional times I'm not staying in my hangar.

That's an opinion, not fact. Maybe borne out of laziness or pure disconcern. If there was a smiley for that position, it would be the looking left, shrugging shoulders and say, Meh.
Your plane, your call. I believe in fitted covers. Not once have I found one stich flapping in the wind, not even in OKC or Tulsa. I'll gladly spend the money.
****!!!! Where can I get one of those???!!!Indeed it is, but what about when you're flying above a undercast layer, image all the UV the plane gets
Or maybe just make it a bubble plane
There is a point it just gets a little silly.
Covering up a plane just for a day or so is hitting the silly point IMO
