BLP Bottom feed needle & seat?

I was looking into the BLP "bottom feed" needle & seat, design.
This n&s design, looks like such a no brain-er for a Holley carb. I am just curious. Why is it not almost standard for Holley, racing, applications?
Am I overlooking something?

Probably due to patent infrigment laws. BLP Holley components are used in many classes including Comp Eliminator.

I may have stated that wrong...... I didn't want to infer that people steal the design. I just don't see that many BLP bottom feed needle & seats being used, and it looks like it is a such a great twist on the design. Thought I may be missing a "down side".
I am planning on trying a pair, if I can ever get a price......
