Mostly because the big steam boys in town have the market corralled. There are also very few small, single-family homes that have steam heat in the Bay Area, but every now and then I get a call and the most recent one was last week with a small Crown boiler that was installed in 1995. He didn't have any problems, just wanted it checked out.
I marveled at the equalizer.

That Dole main vent has a rather low venting capacity. Unless it's on a very short main, it should be upgraded.
