Speakers are a world of compromises, choosing to or not to use BSC is one of those compromises.
Using sims to build a crossover works great on a computer, it doesn't really work in the real world without tweaking. Using a baffle step for a single driver speaker even if you only needed 2dB of attenuation could kill enough of the magic that draws people to a single driver speaker in the first place.
Open baffle speakers would take this to the extreme, using up to 6dB maybe more of baffle step. With a sensitivity of 95dB and using 6dB BSC you just brought it down to an 89dB sensitivity making it hard to be driven by a low watt tubed amp. Once you killed that much sensitivity, there is no amount of power that can bring back the dynamics a 95dB speaker exhibits.
I could go on and on I guess, but I'll stop here....
