If I would ever make a flathead engine, or fit an off-the-shelf one into a vehicle, I would do it because they look cool to me, even though some OHV could serve me eventually better.

That would be like making it have points just to make sure it's not a wasted spark system.
Odd enough, IIRC some old motorcycle ignition systems which had points were actually wasted-spark too.
