Is it a weight issue, or is it simply cost?
An upper tier handguard can be very close to weight to the weight of MOE hanguards, but for around 8-10 times the price. If you don't really need that rail space, is the free float worth the price of entry? I would imagine it isn't for most people
For me, it is economics. I have a MOE midlength on my BCM because I'd rather buy a better optic or more magazines and ammo. But to each, his own.
