Totally agree with this. It is a lazy man's custom rail piece. In some instances you have to use them to build what you want but so many builders don't realize that they can get a lot of variety in rails just by using their imagination.

I always try to have at least one never before seen rail (that doesn't use that bent pole) in every park I build and I'm not out of ideas yet.
