Rudy,
I believe the primary reason is that it is Flat. Finish flatness is
critical to many SMT component placements and if the assembler can solve
the other issues you mention they might have a winner. I do know a
company that customer was requesting a very thin unfused tin-lead plate
for flatness issues.
Regards
