I just wonder how available such flatbads are should you need one in the
middle of nowhere. I guess dollies would still be carried by tow trucks
even in such places, right?

Not like a motorist in need could really enforce it ...

autoclub you are with
in the states you CAN (and should) make it abundantly clear what it's
flatbed, rollers of the trucker takes a hike.
If you are not sensible enough choosing a parking spot and you are
being towed in your absence
(gawd bless tow efficient us of a) then it's a liability for the tow
operator and they'd probably want to do it right
since they generally can't get inside to get the car into neutral and
get it off the parking brake.
Or can they?

Yup. On a tow rope. 4 down. Engine dead. (spun con-rod bearing)
About 15 miles at low speeds. Behind a Honda Civic.
No damage apparent after two years.

Was the tow truck operator trying to convince you that he knew better?
