I also could not understand the low B Flat ommision...However a lot of oboes were made with out the Forked F Vent. I know Tabuteau never liked the vent, so that was passed on to his students. Evidently he found the unvented forked F to be the sole survivor on a modern oboe of the old baroque oboe cross fingering sound. it can also come in useful for a pianissimo entry of an F, but on some oboes you have to push the pitch up a tad. my current oboes ( Louis and Triebert, not made for the American market) are unvented, but my Louis cor is. My first oboe was a Rudell Carte - that was unvented with simple octaves....you can learn to do without it, and of course if you want a brighter sharper sound,. you can always add the RH e flat key to the forked F.
