Because the compromises in weight/cost/availability for 48H are too great, whereas for 32vs36H they're virtually nil! I.e. you get something (strength) for (almost) nothing - how much you value that something is subjective and personal, that's why there's choice in the world. I'm insisting on nothing, just pointing out the tradeoffs that exist. My opinion is only my opinion - the OP can pick and chose!
