To take that even further. In South Florida where I do all of my diving, I am on the boats with a number of casual, vacationing divers pretty much every trip. Most of them have no clue what tank they are diving ... aluminum or steel. Most seem to have no clue there are even two different materials tanks are made out of, different capacities of cylinder, and that the buoyancy characteristics of the tank influences how much lead they will need.

The market for personal cylinders is really for local divers and those that frequently drive-to-dive vs. primarily fly-to-dive. That is a very small group compared to the number of certified divers that occasionally dive while on vacation.
...and most probably don't even know how much weight they need either. The DM's probably advise them on what they need and they go "Oh OK, whatever you think" and off they go. Not a clue and happy as hell. Must be nice.
 
So here are 2x20yr old Fabers on the left that I stripped white paint and grey undercoat from 20yrs ago

And on the right two 72s twice their age, did I tell you I used to be a roadie for Hot Air Band, no really!

The galvanization process like many industrial processes can be potentially become an environmental hazard if adequate measures are not taken.
