==>Tradition I suspect, and, customer demand. Maybe Dick, Gregg and
others will chime in. Many players, including myself prefer the look of
quality rosewood and ebony fretboards with traditional frets. Players
still like to specify inlay patterns in the traditional style. It's all
part of the craft.
Some luthiers also build round and square neck reso guitars side by
side. I'm sure it's more practical to offer similar treatments.
YMMV
