I can just see Walsingham, Ripon, et al, and their loaders demanding side levers so as to facilitate the shooting. NOT!
I'd be guessing about the first time that left side side lever caught on Ripon's hat as he passed the gun would be the last.

The top lever may not be the end all design but there has certainly been more than adequate time for other innovation in gun design to have come up with a viable replacement.
