Maybe I’m missing something here, but it appears that the tube can be unscrewed at the head and that the driver has a small brass colored button on it. (saw this on A4 tear down on another BLF members review)
So, why can’t a small spring just be soldered on or another brass button soldered on and Boom! Problem solved for shorter cells?

Magnets, springs or spacers will work. To a lot of us it’s not a major issue. Just saying from a manufacturers point of view it is a tactical plan. Someone buys the light at a good price then (For those that can’t or don’t solder) , now you are spending 75% of the cost of the light in batteries. Just doesn’t seen like a spectacular deal for that person looking for that 1 light. You were not missing anything, just looking at the situation from every point of view. Like I said, just my OPINION. No harm meant.

No harm, no foul.
No, you are dead on right. Most people don’t want to mod a new flashlight just to use it. Or have to buy new/different cells to use it.
On the other side of the coin, can’t remember how many times members would throw a fit if a new flashlight could not accept a long protected cell (think Panasonic)

So, as they say in wood shop “it’s easier to cut short a few times rather than one big cut, kinda hard to add material back on:)
