A tight image on the other hand, especially in today's environment, actually encourages people to make those plays against you, with the expectation that you're more likely to fold.

Is that so bad?
Different players react differently to a tight image. Many B&M players and a minority of online players will be afraid to bet and raise even with very strong hands. So you end up losing less when you have the worst hand. That is another benefit of the tight-aggressive image. I don't think the unpredictability is needed for the intimidation. Most good tight-aggressive players already have enough deception in their game that they are unpredictable.
Many online players will try to run all over you if they perceive you as tight. That makes the game more difficult to play, but I don't really see it as a problem unless you fold too much.
