The adaptors already have 24mm ID bearings in them ;)

There are multiple options for BB30 and PF30 frames (of which there are plenty).
Niner Biocentric (PF30), BEER Components (BB30), Problem Solvers (PF30) and Wheels Manufacturing (BB30 and PF30).
You'll have to make do with 24mm spindles but thats not really an issue.

A good hard look in this thread will reveal that that is one of the most common solutions when a EBB is used for CX bikes.

Oh, I get it now. :) But as I said its not particularly hard to utilize the full amount of BB drop.

Its not that rockers and sliding dropouts aren't possible on Alu and carbon. There is just very few framebuilders that utilize it because it adds cost, complications and a little weight, and if you choose to ride with gears its redundant.
An EBB is an add-on. You buy it seperately. The owner chooses to ride SS and its out of the hands of the framebuilders. Much easier for everyone.

Forrealsies

Anyway

I'm not sure why you would have to use the drops. Adding or removing 14mm of spacers or stack should be easy. A lower CG will always be better as long as you can pedal freely.

An EBB will rarely end up in the front of rear of the shell since there is a very low amount of change in the overall chainstay length there. There is a much bigger change in CS length at the top an bottom an so it will more often than not place itself there. Should it end up at the end of the shell a half link will correct it and you'll be able to go a tooth up or down on the cog without upsetting the geometry significantly.
Rockers or sliding dropouts is good if you want absolutely static geometry but it will limit your frame material to steel in most cases unless you go custom.

Probably not but this is.

EBB is the lightest and leaves you with the biggest number of possible frames (BB30/PF30).

I actually like to be able to adjust my BBdrop 14mm in total. I.e being able to have a high BB in summer/early season when grip is plenty and being able to pedal early out of corners. When the mud appears you are better off having a low CG. And its really not as fiddly as it sounds...

According to tyre decals that is a Cross bike. So I like it.

Whoops. No I didn't. SS gravel grinding is so niche I didn't even consider it.

lol

Sliding dropouts is nice but why on earth is the cables on the underside of the toptube?

Oh, and bottlecages...

Looks too big for the rider but its not far from being a seriously awesome pubbike if it isnt already.

Pretty nice that 8bar Foley. I quite like those frames. A cockpit tweak and that would be well nice.
