Butterfly, beautiful to watch, difficult to train.
We SDK off every wall.
We're most likely to smack hands with each other and those beside us.
Fly's fun to sprint but no fun when the piano comes down

Just sayin' it can be done in practice. Even mid D types do all out AFAP swims. Check out Patrick's or Chris' blog or Tall Paul's workouts.
I do them too...I just can't do it that often with the amount of lane crowding and different ability levels in my team practices...and I hate having to go out and pay $$$ to go swim in the hot YMCA pool just to have a lane by myself. Our "team" practices or more of just a free for all, and I try to do what I can before others bombard my lane and start warming up themselves without and regard as to what I may have been doing already. Say what you want about that part...it's not going to change anything on how the others are. Our workout group has about 80 in it, but only about 10-15 of us actually compete, and of those that compete I don't have anyone of similar speed to train with either, so I just make do the best I can.
