I'm unsurprised by this. In our strategic analysis, we determined that there are 3 obstacles that can obviously be reliably crossed by the KOP drive train with no other additions:
1. The low bar
2. The Sally Port (ONLY from the courtyard)
3. The Drawbridge (ONLY from the courtyard)

With just a drive train you can drive through these obstacles from the courtyard to the neutral zone (Low Bar can conceivably be done in either direction). In order to cross them for points in the opposite direction alone, there is A LOT of investment of resources. And if you think creatively about a way to generate points by crossing it in a fashion that does not require the investment of all those resources, you can see why many teams would opt to not manipulate those defenses. Hint: you have partners.
