And then there is S gauge, not so small as to give issues with putting wheels on the track, only two rails, accessories available, possible to use O27 sized buildings and lots [of] trains available.
What's not to like if O gauge or scale is too big and HO is too small?

I have no argument to that. But I'd take a bit of issue with the "lots of trains available" part. I think there has always been a wider range of rolling stock and locomotives available in O. Which is why the first train Santa brought me in 1951 was a Lionel 027 set -- and why I'm still in O today.

All the same, I've got to admit, S has a lot of attraction. If I had the space for a big benchwork layout, I might well go to S instead of my current on-the-basement-floor 3rs layout.
