A fascinating insight to the playing style in the 1800's are the Baermann editions of Weber's clarinet music. The urtext-edition trend has done much damage to the 1st concerto...
Yes, the Baermann editions do give you insight into one "playing style." But the playing style of 1869 may not be the same as that of 1811.
And I imagine some people might want to add their own ornaments rather than rely on Carl's, which are often clumsy (and in a few spots, if I remember, create voice-leading errors).
I agree, though, urtext editions can indeed be problematic. (And at any rate, they aren't an urtext: someone's edited them.) What's best are critical editions, such as the Barenreiter Mozart based on the NMA, which clearly show and explain all editorial decisions, played by a knowledgable and critical performer, who can make informed decisions about when to follow and when to deviate from the score.
