It would be cool if someone were to adress these points in a nicer product
Why bother when you can sell massively overpriced and badly designed seat clamps by laser etching the established brand of some other bicycle part on them and offering then in pretty anodised colours? 🙂
To be fair, even the really bad ones work well enough, as do the #tester_approved cheap generic barrel nut styles. When they don't, because of abnormal loads or particularly unfavourable combinations of seat post and tube material, a secondary clamp on the seat post or combination double clamp is an available and effective solution. The world is clearly not crying out for a better seat post clamp.

I see.
It would be cool if someone were to adress these points in a nicer product. Changing thread pitch is easy, but I can’t imagine how it would be possible to improve thread engagement. Adapting to different seat tube diameters would be easy though.
