Worth remembering that U2 provide hotac, if necessary, in the event of wx disruption
Not really. I was in Basel, Friday 18th Dec, return flight to Gatwick. Flight Cancelled.
Sent to Zurich for the evening flight. I reached Zurich on my own.
Evening flight cancelled. It was a mess all over Europe and we know it.
Well, airport operator handed me a paper and it sounded like: You've made your bed, now lie in it!
I made my way home and I managed to arrive on Saturday evening at 10pm (KLM flight from Schiphol). I am now waiting for the refund. I will let you know.

I find they are up to the standards that I require
This is a good point
and I fully agree with you.
It should be obvious your standards are different from mine, from F3G, from whoever. This should answer your "why?".
Nevertheless I pay a great tribute to EasyJet and RyanAir and I use them as long as I find convenient to do it (which does not mean that the fare is the lowest one as I consider many other "personal" factors).
Both fantastic airlines and very very safe to fly with.
I tend to prefer EasyJet, but this is only a personal taste.
If they would have been available 20 years ago, I would have been travelling all over Europe having a lot of more fun.
