I'd be inclined to agree with you if it weren't for the fact that a MTB rear disk hub can run an ISO mounted cog. Something that I did for years with no issues. Additionally, Surly, Goldtec, Phil Wood and Pauls Components all make 135 spaced fixed hubs. I'm sure there are more.
On the last point. A few companies make Aluminium street and DJ frames but the vast majority are steel precisely because they're designed to be thrown around and dropped.
