Why no ramp?

ok I made up a silhouette from warriors' other silhouettes of what the bk20 would look like with the becker thumb ramp. Sorry I'm not more talented with all that photoshop kind of stuff.

Anyway, it looks amazing! really wishing it had one now.

I know a lot of you guys always grind the ramps off anyway but I always liked them. it was "classic becker" (but not really because that ramp was not on any of his original designs)

Really wish I would have thought to asked Ethan about this at the gathering.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Don't count it against me if I'm wrong (cause I probably am) but I think I remember when the 7/9/10 were being designed they were requested to have the thumb ramps. But the design wasn't selected by the military, the only Becker with an NSN is the BK-2... I believe.
 
the ramp would add a ton of extra work and waist cuts probably
