You say that but there aren't that many people selling tapered forks with eyelets either! Because I wanted one for my 29er and struggled to find anything (although I was after a 15mm thru-axle as well which narrowed down the options).
Mudguard eyelets and tight clearance is a bit niche I think. Full-blown road bikes don't have mudguards and everything else (tourers, commuters, CX, gravel, etc.) benefits from good tyre clearance.

that's the thing. you'd think it exists but it seems really hard to find.
Kinesis do a Aithein fork but it doesn't have mudguard mounts, the cross fork has too much clearance, the axd fork is though axle, the rd1 weighs 700g (!).
Enve forks have no mudguard mounts, Columbus have gone all though axle. Cross forks all have massive clearance.
You'd think someone would make a road fork with normal clearance rather than for 48,000c 650b tubeless with 1200 eyelets.
