I like a tighter chainstay, but that has much to do with the nature of our trails and topography. Minimizing dish on a wheel isn't a bad thing, as evident by all the ways co's have tried to get as much real estate between the flanges or equalize spoke bracing angles. The point I agree with you is one or the other. It'd be nice to have the bandaid ripped off rather than slowly peeled. It does provide a good bit of dialogue though, so maybe the slow tear is a boon for sites during slow news periods?
