"Marketing strategy"
I think you have a good point. If "A" clarinets were made with the top joint 1mm shorter, you could use a 66mm barrel.
But what about the bore and pitch??? The bore is different and the pitch would not be good, BUT for many people that are not so discriminating, the pitch would not matter much. So... making the top joint a bit long makes the quite bad with a Bb barrel. So bad, in fact, that you have to get a new barrel.
