The reason is that they attract attention to the bulb which is usually the very thing you try not to do in good lighting design. Yes there are exceptions, but very few. Lighting is usually about enhancing visual acuity and creating a comfortable lighting environment. The lighting environment degrades rapidly as the brightness / contrast ratio goes up. The B / C ratio between a bare bulb and it's surroundings is way too much. That's why shades, recessed fixtures, reflectors, diffusers, and indirect lighting are used. Very intense light directed at the eyes is a well known torture technique. These will be used for decoration, but not for good lighting.

These are the two top issues with standard compact fluorescents. Energy savings is the only reason to use them. Dealing with the toxic mercury is one of the major reasons not to use them. Without this basic information, what are these nicer designs worth? While these bulbs are nicer than the usual ones, you say nothing about their energy use or the amount of toxic mercury in them.
