RE: Let's remember the purpose of class A

"...otherwise no one would have ever bothered with a Class A amp in the first place!"

I'm only semi-ancient but when young had lot's of experience with gear that was old even then. So... from that perspective, i.e. historical, you have it wrong. Single ended amplifiers have the advantage of the lowest possible parts count (and cost). Tubes used to cost a bundle and had wide production spreads so needing twice as many and matching just didn't cut it.
