*chuckles* I really haven't wondered about it. However, your implied
logic that they aren't around because they used crimp on RF connectors
is quite flawed.
I use both types of connectors in the field routinely. A good quality
(i.e. silver plated) RF connector on good quality coaxial cable
installed with the proper tools by a knowledgeable installer can yield a
very good quality fitting. Clearly there are millions of them out there
in commercial/industrial/military applications.
Likewise a solder compression type fitting done correctly can yield a
good quality fitting as well. Though it doesn't seem to take much
twisting on the coax at the connector to break the braid loose of the
compression point.
I've had very few crimp on connectors fail on me I guess, I've had far
more compression "N" connectors pull off the end of coax.
Your mileage may vary....
