There's another way to look at it. If you have a pocket in the BP for powder to go into to get closer to the flame hole. What happens when you use a pellet? now you have a large air gap from the flame hole, and pellet.
Keep in mind there's more pellet users than loose powder users. Not BH 209 users, but all loose powder users. If you were a gun maker. Who would you cater to?
