Maybe it's the fact that just about every builder I talk to steers me in that direction due to height, weight, and strength issues?

The Serotta Skunkbirds 1 & 2, and the Zanc Effin Cross Bike are fillet brazed.....and I love em.

Any fillet lovers besides me here?

Shout out your love!

I'M A FILET LOVER!

I have another theory to add to your list. Beaver tails have a sort of lugless appearance. It's who you are, deep down.
