Default Circular versus linear polarization

Ham antennas remain in the linear domain (ala the Yagi and similar)
There are many reasons espoused in CP advantages in "point to point"
What is the main advantage hams hold over the more popular circular

Is there a CPOL advantage for atmospherically propagated HF? I can
think of some disadvantages.
