Steel bikes are almost always round tubes, so no need for the cut out. Any of the few steel bikes that are more "aero" tube in design will not be double butted. Chain tensioners are pretty much useless on any modern bike. And aluminum frames have steel plates on their dropouts, because Al gets chewed up by track nuts. No need if your dropouts are steel.
