I think it also massively complicates the failure modes. Freight trains pretty frequently lose cargo and or derail. That's probably way more annoying to deal with if it's in a tunnel.

Only in the USA. Derailments are rare where the tracks are properly maintained, and train lengths aren't excessive.
