You're missing the point, bro. Yes, the old taildraggers are simple planes, but still not easy to fly. They have no engineering fixes for adverse yaw, etc, and the simple fact of being a taildragger makes them unstable on the ground. This teaches the new pilot to use the rudder properly right from day one, which skill transfers perfectly into any other aircraft with a rudder. (All of them)
