But that one place can be harder to find and with the most reactive of
load impedances that one place may not be within the range of available
L and C components.

Actually there were home made link coupled series/parallel tuned tuners
for decades before the Matchbox that always had a wider load impedance
tolerance. Compared to a Matchbox, my link couple tuners tune more
situations. Perhaps not as conveniently from changing coil taps with
alligator clips.
