Not really. The cbm scene is dominated by the c64 scene, which in turn is
dominated by people/literature/samples that uses "other" assemblers. These
assemblers do usually always add the load address (since they mimic the
behaviour of assembler running on the real machine), but never a BASIC header.

This means that people are used to adding the BASIC header themselves (if
necessary) but they're also used to not having to add the load address. As a
consequence, ca65 not adding the load address is "bad" while ca65 not adding a
BASIC header is expected behaviour. Interestingly the former is much easier to
do manually than the latter, but that's how it is:-)
