Given the price of what these fences cost now, why would someone NOT go with an Incra Fence? Aside from having a REALLY small shop.
I've been pricing fences for two weeks and just cannot imagine paying $30-$50 less for a Bies or something of lesser quality.
What am I missing?
Incra make wonderful products and I have several of their miter fences. My objection to this saw fence is that it requires a rail on the back of the saw which inhibits the installation of an extension table. I have a permanently attached table that lets me fully support a 4 x 8 sheet oriented in either direction. To do this I use a Delta UniFence with a Uni-T-Fence.

Maybe because it is more trouble than most fences to set from full wide rips to narrow rips. Or maybe because removing and replacing the fence is more trouble than a Beis. Or like you said, you needs lots of room for it to operate in its widest rip position and it needs lots of room to store off the saw. I guess one of those reasons is enough for the majority of people..
because One Incra fence per shop is enough?? I've got one on my router table; my Unisaw has a Bies. Love it. There's a LOT more Bies's out there than Incra's.
