Private bets are no fun...
Hey, I for one do my critters. And no, I don't work out how many points they're worth unless I'm doing them as Allies or Alternate Forms or something I really need points for.
Stat block is grand with me, hell I don't even use the stat blocks most of the time. In a regular combat, do I really need to know the IQ of a wolf? Most often, not. And if I do, I've got the hang of animal IQ levels by now enough to guess with an error margin of 1.
The thing is, people that are vocal about the lack of a Bestiary are the people who don't do it themselves (most of the time), and some of the people who do wouldn't mind a Bestiary too. So the impression might come across that "nobody" does their beasties themselves. In my personal experience across gaming tables (not that many, true) and my own group is that yeah, we do our stuff most of the time.
I'd probably buy GURPS Bestiary, it'd probably get a lot of use if it became available, but there's no aching need for it to
become available.
And laziness sells.
