I think it's for ratings. People loved the arguments, it's what makes the show.
As to Sr. vs Jr. design wise, Sr's stuff is classic and will always work. Jr's stuff isn't very rideable, and theme bikes are pretty useless. IMHO, all custom bike's look alike anyway, and all that stretch is pretty useless if you really want to ride the bike. Of course, some of Sr's old school stuff is pretty unrideable too.
Speaking about OCC not hopping as much, that's across the custom bike industry, not just OCC. The economy has punched the custom bike shops in the mouth, not too many people want to drop $50k plus on a bike that's hard to ride. Also, the custom bike fad has slowed down too, as like I mentioned above, they all look alike, and there are 10000 custom bike builders out there.
All that said, if I was to buy a custom, it would be from Bourget's anyway.
