why should they be looking for 'little better' ballistics when many don't know what ballistics means??

A titanium screwdriver is still a screwdriver. Same for rifles. 260's easily dupes/exceeds some 270 ballistics, and a 270 easily dupes/exceeds some 7Mag ballistics.
Most people aren't buying 'titanium' screwdrivers.
Remington TRIED to sell the 260 as you mention---the public does NOT buy it. MAYBE in 'some' applications with smaller mono bullets the 260 MIGHT outdo the 270 but I can give many instances where it CAN NOT.
In most NORMAL loads the 270 does NOT exceed 7 Mag ballistics.
I know we have new powders and mono bullets we didn't use to have but that's not apples TO apples.
You may buy it>>>>I don't
YMMV
