I'm looking at it from the same perspective as Tom Gamer. I stumbled onto/into BIAB. I also had ruled out AG due to the cost/additional equipment to store (and clean). BIAB has allowed me to move past extract brewing, and I would have done so sooner if I had known about it. But, at present, you need to already know about BIAB, and know it is an AG style, so you then know you might find info in the AG section.
I guess I don't see the down side of using 3/4 inch of space for a BIAB heading, and making more people aware of an AG option that they may otherwise never know about. How many extract brewers who no longer read this "beginners" forum any longer have never heard of BIAB, and maybe never will, because they think AG is too complicated/or think they can't afford to go AG. So... they don't read the AG forum, and therefore never discover BIAB.
At my brew club, very few of the AG brewers have ever heard of BIAB, so it's not as if it's common knowledge. I like BIAB. I think others might too. But I think it's relatively unknown.
