These solve the problem quite nicely in the appropriate length with no fuss, no muss.

I'm sure they do. But I've already got hex keys all over the place, and don't need to buy more tools to adjust a poorly designed gas block. I'd rather just buy a side adjustable to start with; there are no downsides.
