OK, there are some airfields that really should have CTRs that currently don't I'll grant you, but that's a handful. With the amount of beer being drunk I guess you work at one of them
However if every airfield with a control tower, or even just every airfield with a published IAP had a CTR it would mean a proliferation of controlled airspace in places that really don't need it. Just how many non-training IFR movements does, say, Shoreham get? Does Booker really warrant a CTR?
Fair enough about the ATM movements, I wasn't aware that it had changed. What is needed these days then? What did PK do to get its CTR back?
