For what it's worth, my new Hunqapillar has a threaded fender mount on the kickstand plate, AND a threaded fender mount on the brake bridge. It is one of the original Taiwan frames. My Waterford built Hilsen needed an L-bracket. I would suspect it comes down to supplies and builders since these are done in small batches.
