Reasons that are becoming obvious to everyone.

Actually I have no issues in believing that you do occasional full contact bare knuckle fighting, lots of people do.
I just find it hard to believe that IF you do this that you still believe it is the best way to train, that hold back hitting to the head and face with a bareknuckle closed fist is better than hitting full force to the fact with protective gear.
Your point about conditioned hands is not relevant because you don't have to fight bare knuckle to condition the hands, that is what conditioning and forging exercises are for.
I agree that some form of bare knuckle full contact fighting is crucial in TESTING your MA but do NOT agree that it is a good way to train.
The empirical evidence ( early days of the UFC, Vale Tudo and so forth) are on my side by the way.
The most efficient and effective method of training is full contact protected sparring combined full contact protected fighting with the occasional full contact bare knuckle testing.
I would add to that, of course, weapons conditioning (limbs, hands and feet).
