That just points back to entirely different use situations. For my needs, I have yet to discover one single way modifying Knoppix in real HD install is more versatile than using Poor Man's Install (PMI) - my experience is rather to the contrary, which is also why I hesitate to create a 64-bits 6.7.1-version - I'll rather wait for the next release, to see if a pure 64-bits version can be made more easily from a PMI then.. I can't speak for you, and you clearly don't speak for me.

My major Knoppix use is not for testing, experimenting or rescue purposes, but as a workstation OS. Since 6.0, Knoppix has been the main OS version in my daily work. Therefore, CD versions are of little or no interest to me, and I don't really have to comply with the 4 GB limits either - I just find it practical to do that for now.

Normally I use at least 16 GB USB sticks, and I can hardly see any way syslinux/isolinux serves me better than legacy GRUB on those devices - on the contrary, I usually set up 3-4 partitions, and tailor different boot options for different Knoppix packages on the partitions. Which is very handy with legacy GRUB, and at the very least, I don't have to learn another booting tool well.
