I imagine it's a lot more work for the maker since they can't just turn it down round on the lathe. Maybe that's why we don't see as many.

Great reply, especially with polymer tips as they have to be filed by hand to shape. The flat is easier than the oval but they do take more work especially if you want them to look like instrument grade work.
I personally like an oval too. I make a smaller oval that plays much like a round but has that little extra surface area to give some more rasp.
