But my point was MFJ chose to use a voltage balun for two reasons.
They're cheaper


What is the price differential in winding one wire outside the core,
instead of winding it inside the core? Such "savings" accrue only in
the production run of millions of units.

and they still work to a fashion.


If both sides are unbalanced - you mean that fashion?

MFJ is not making a killing on this particular poor winding (OK, call
it historical inertia) practice, and their market for these internal
BalUns is dipoles, not monopoles.
