 I don't think you use many MOSFETs in your designs, certainly
 not power MOSFETs.   In contrast, other designs increasingly
 using many power MOSFETs, so clutter and clarity is an issue. 

 These days it's hard to get a discrete MOSFET with an available
 substrate pin, and none of the power MOSFETs have one.  This
 limits the value of a symbol highlighting the substrate path.

 If the substrate diode comes into play, it's more useful to
 actually show the diode as part of the symbol.  I've seen many
 cases where the full-fledged classic MOSFET symbol has been
 supplemented with the diode.  This may be redundant,* but it
 comes about because the designer knows that many aren't always
 aware of the diode aspect of the substrate part of the symbol,
 and he wants to be sure diode action is not overlooked.  Ahem,
 would right-thinking Little-Endians eschew showing the diode?

 * One other aspect, this diode is drawn in place even though
 there's a chance of confusion, is this another required part?
