What is the situation with tipping on stub/italic pens? I notice that the Lamy and the Goulet italic nibs have no tipping. Is there a standard practice, or is it just some have tipping and some don’t?

you will almost never see tipping on steel stub/italic nibs for cost reasons, and because steel is hard enough where it won’t wear very quickly
you will see tipping on most gold stub/italics, as the metal is softer than steel and could wear down over time
