I further assume that only Carbide is of any use for *any* router
task?

That would be my opinion. Can you even buy HSS bits now?

Sure.

I can't see any reason not to use carbide bits for all
purposes.

I can think of some reasons...
1. Easy to sharpen, depending on profile.
2. Sharper than carbide
3. Cheaper than carbide? Used to be true, don't know about now but not a
bif deal.

I have a few HSS bits, some more than 40 years old. Obviously, I don't use
them all that often anymore. The exception is some HSS spiral bits...I use
them when I want the very best cuts.
