Every commercial composite kayak model I can think of has the "forced sheer" as well, though. You have to join the deck and hull somewhere and somehow!

Some good points, especially the "forced" deck/hull division. I think it is a carryover from the strip built canoe, from which the new generation kayak designs evolved. Seems that the further a designer is removed from the early canoe era, the less distinct the sheer line becomes.
