Ok, maybe it's not a trend per se, as many fine artists use more medium size tip mouthpieces with not as strong reeds, or even more open tips and stronger reads (e.g. Morales).
Still more, tip opening alone doesn't define a mouthpiece's resistance, which is rather a blend of the intertwined effects of rail width and curvature, and where that separation from the reed begins...and chamber design, etc.
And yet still more, even if it was a trend, maybe clarinet players are not necessarily going with "small tip, big stick" for the same reasons.
But with all those caveats covered, what might be the top reasons to play such a setup? Is it the ability to project in an orchestra?
