Ti is expensive but durable as you say. Aluminum as you say, can be a disaster waiting to happen, which would never be acceptable for a commercial product. Liability at higher cost isn't worth it.
Crazy people like me though, get the idea of swapping out sections of tube for aluminum
Thanks for the warning about the fuel tanks.
