a Scottoiler makes a good compromise.  Keeps chain in good order without hassle and ugliness of chain case.

An enclosed chain case has always struck me as a combination of common sense with several benefits.  As is often the way style often  over trumps common sense in the move to modernity.

It used to be a design- feature / sales point... the Rudge Oil-Bath, if I recall correctly.

For some reason, that makes me think of Les Dawson.

I am always amazed when the Scottoiler is praised. I once read a test in the world's best motorcycle magazine, the German Das Motorrad and their testers judged it as not good. Maybe they've tested a first version, I don't know, but looking at the design myself, I fail to understand how it can work well.
