My take has always been that some places had certain practices or traditions, and these practices never spread broadly. Naturally, folks like to preserve these traditional practices, but I don't recall any/many saying that other practices were inherently wrong.
As far as stylish with no real purpose... is that a bad thing? Sometimes it's just fun.
actually, it does add a bit of flair to a monochromatic fillet brazed bike.
