edit:
and yes^ it's a heavy bridge made of a thick steel so it makes more sustain. |

Better intonation control? On a Fender, which is what 99 percent of the people buying will put them on?

For some of us that is NOT a selling point!

The Leo-Quan bridges fixed this problem and added mass at the same time, so they were really popular back then, and people have seemingly just followed suite. |

| | | | it looks massive and relayable,also it looks nice. probably nicer to control your strings height and intonation. i'm not sure if badass bridge affects the sound in any manner ( sustain?hmmm) |

IMO it's not so special now. |

It's not steel, btw, but some kind of sintered zinc alloy.
