Also these are usually made of plastic and don't have the same issues that wood clarinets have from leaving a tenon assembled all the time.
Calrnibass, the Yamaha 221, my first bass, had O-rings instead of cork for the middle joint and the bell. I figured, great, I could leave it assembled on a stand and cover it with a sheet. It turns out, however, that even these O-rings compress over time and I had to start taking it apart and putting it in its case. This is a slightly different situation from the student models you mention which are meant to be stored assembled.

I think that the question of leaving a bass assembled or disassembled is just a personal matter.
Julian, I'd love to leave mine assembled but I'd need to build a dust-free cabinet or obtain some kind of dust-proof cover.
