Tenor is such a good looking horn. Low anything would spoil the aesthetics imo.
Nobody plays baritone for the look of the thing. It's all about the umph and grunt and that pleasurable sound. Having said that a low A looks way more cool than a Bb. Proper boss instrument.
Low A on baritone is so practical musicaly and only two tones away from Bb on a Bb bass.
As for alto...maybe a straight low A would look ok but a normal alto with low A just looks odd.
