It's kind of like which came first the chicken or the egg but some might think of it as "Why would a company put a substitute powder on the market that has well known ignition problems in a lot of the guns that are out there?"
It is pretty self serving for a powder company to say it is the gun maker's responsibility to make a gun that works for THEIR powder.
Just another point of view from me.

To some extent I agree, but redesigning a breech plug that will reliably ignite ALL black powder sub's would not be that difficult for a company to do. Individuals have accomplished that. No need to redesign the entire rifle.
