Why exotic stylus not used on MM?

I think it’s clear by now that the root premise of the OP is false; no need to beat a dead horse any further.

I have a rega rb300 arm on a michell gyrodec. I have analog devices op amps used ss phono stage and pre amplifier. 
I was using Ortofon kontrapunkt b then I put a black
My expectation was that kontrapunkt b would be better
Kontrapunkt b has better bass, tonal balance is in the mid-low than black
Black is vivid, real, airy, tonal balance mid-high than b
Overall, there was a big difference in the sound in favor of black.
My choice was black without hesitation because of it's there feel.
That got me thinking a bit about the overall mm-mc difference

If you are talking about the 2M Black, then I agree. 

I have owned the Ortofon Jubilee (x2), Cadenza Black and A90 - the 2M Black can't compete with those on delicacy, detail, soundstaging etc, but it is no slouch either and the tonal balance and presentation may be preferable. 

You should try the LVB 250 stylus for the 2M Black. The boron cantilever with the Shibata stylus provides many of the MC qualities but retains the essential balance of the 2M Black.

tobes thank for answer

İ thought the same about kontrapunkt b.

' 'You should try the LVB 250 stylus' ' İ agree. 

Dear @tobes  : " You should try the LVB 250 stylus for the 2M Black. "

Well I think that you know that both 2M models has the same stylus shape and the difference in quality performance sound is just for the difference in cantilever. But that you already now.

Yes of course.

The Ortofon Shibata is a beautiful example of that stylus type and the boron cantilever is its natural partner IMO (having owned the Jubilee and Cadenza Black).

My point was that if @meteu finds the stock 2M Black preferable in some ways to the Kontrapunkt b, then the LVB will provide a similar balance but with more the objective qualities (detail, finesse, soundstaging etc) of the Ortofon MCs. Win/win.
