One good reason why not is that it looks so f*****g awful!
It looks like the builder/rider has no idea of engineering, but merely buys his stuff at the local B&Q; not good.
Far from being ignorant buffoons or incompetent, the users of old Imperial threadforms were actually very efficient and the threads diverse enough for any application, unlike the subsequent Unified stuff which was only adopted to enable the British manufacturers to sell in the US.
