Why are army mounts not the default stem fixture for most pipes?

[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 583965, member: 5415"] I've come across a lot of talk about a nearly obsessive fear of removing a stem while a pipe is still warm. A recurring complaint about using filters I've seen is that one cannot remove the filter before the pipe cools, thus not being able to run a cleaner through (strikes me as a bit far fetched to think your briar is going to irreversibly expand in the 0.75 seconds it takes to slip off the stem, snatch the filter out, and whack it back on, but I digress). My question is, if army mounts completely solve this problem, and the innovation has been around for quite some time, why are they not standard issue for most pipes? What is the downside? [/QUOTE]
