Have you thought about how many blackface era Fender amp reissues (and new models) there are currently manufactured/reissued, but very few Tweeds? The '59 Bassman is the only Fender tweed I can think of right now. At the same time, Tweed seems to be favoured by the pricier boutique makers, and DIYers. Does Fender feel that they can't compete with Victoria & co, or do they care about nuthin' but the famous Fender "BF" tone of the '60s Fenders? Also, aren't there any boutique makers making "true" BF Fenders?
Just a thought...
