I assume they have their reasons :-)
Nevertheless I have resorted to modifying liftarms to meet some of these
requirements myself, for example, cutting up 6 or 7 length liftarms into 2, 3
or 4 length pieces. These can be incredibly useful for bracing and the 4 long
ones can be used in some places where you would use the 1x4 "propellor blade"
part, which seems to be quite rare. My excavator uses such a piece for the
bucket linkage:

I've also resorted to cutting up the wider liftarms with a bend in them into
smaller pieces, and lo and behold, such parts are now beginning to appear
"officially".
