(Though, to be fair, MP where everyone plays different boards is pretty ideosyncratic too! BBO scoring is very unique compared to any other tournament.)

Our daylong tourneys operate under unique conditions. How many other tournaments have people playing their boards at different times of day?

The Common Game might have a similar problem, since they don't have different games for different timezones. So someone could play a game on the east coast, then send the hands to a friend on the west coast.

Exactly - that was my point :) Having different hands is necessary, but it's a unique form of bridge - thus may well be better suited to a unique form of scoring.
