It's not neccessarily silly to have fixed/free. What is silly is getting a hub that doesn't have the option to go fixed on both sides. With a fix/fix hub, you have the reverse threads for the lockring on both sides. With one that's only fixed/free, one side doesn't have the threads cut for the lockring. You can thread a freewheel onto a fixed hub, since you don't need the lockring. It's always seemed silly to limit yourself...
