For steak lovers, sure, but they are out numbered by regular consumers.
The average soccer mom is two generations removed from knowing why the bone belongs in the crockpot or on the grill. The average consumer can't identify the difference between tenderness and juiciness in a blind study. The average palate is over a decade into being drowned by corn syrup. A growing percentage of people don't want to see the bone because it reminds them they're eating an animal.
The processed and ranched standard has moved piles of beef promotion dollars into just trying to convince people normal old steak is good for you. So much so they're giving up on explaining the differences in cuts because the consumer can't even realize them when it's wallowing around in their mouth.
