A long lever fits and index finger rather nicely, great for reaching down to the dt. Bar top shifting as I have used my Sun Tours since '84 is more of a rotating motion like turning a key in a lock. Having a short thick lever, more volume in hand, makes it bit easier for those tiny movements than a long thin lever can.
Adapting dt levers top bar use seemed to me more out the lack of anyone wanting to manufacture a Sun Tour-like shape. So everyone started copying each other to build more adapters for levers and calling them "thumbshiters" . It's like buying a generic version of something and saying "it works/tastes *like* the original, but it is most assuredly *unlike it *".
