Again I could be wrong and there is certainly bias because SH opportunities are a lot more noticeable. But with every NHL team and probably every junior, college and minor pro team running the same PP format I highly doubt it's not the most optimal set-up to run 4 forwards.
This reminds me of the people that are stuck in the 90's and think wingers should always cover the points in the defense end because they see a shot go in every other game from the blue line.
