More to the point: why aren't stops just formed in to all forks' lower crowns, allowing frame makers to just build corresponding stops into their frames?
Foes did exactly that with their F1 forks years ago. it had a bolt screwed into the lower crown that was used in conjunction with a stop attached to their frames.

those only work if you have a flat top tube. rounded tube they slip off in less than a mont.
and if they get any dirt under them, they fall off right away.
Manitou supplied similar bumpers with the original Dorado. they never stayed on for very long
