I think you touched on subjects outside of the thread topic but related.
As far as rubber hose and flaring. Not sure I understand your question.
Seems pretty simple that a flare adds protection to the hose connection.
A vehicle wont typically see someone yanking on a hose to pull it free of the line but why not make it safe? Try pulling a hose off a line w/o a flare in your vise at home. Then with a flare. Pretty basic, the factory used flares . Unless I missed your point?
Possible?

I'm no expert, but not a newb. I too learn much from this site.
