I am not in anybody's "camp". I listen to other people's evidence -
including Rich's - but I do my own independent thinking.

Because it was a trivial exercise, not worth doing. Wes Stewart's
measurements showed that the Rp values of the AG6K suppressors and the
conventional ones were already almost the same at VHF.
If you insist, just ease the R and L values in the conventional
suppressor up/down by the few percent required to make Rp precisely the
same.
Whatever the Rp and Xp of the nichrome suppressor may be, it's always
possible to design a conventional L-R suppressor to match both
parameters exactly at one chosen frequency, and be very close across a
substantial frequency range.
