Isn't it weird that nut width isn't a more fundamental spec?

Isn't this one of the most important specs? A lot of websites don't even list this. Am I taking crazy pills?
 
You're not crazy. I have large fingers and that's the first thing I look for. It's actually gotten to where I probably won't buy anything other than a custom neck with a 1-3/4" nut. I have one from USA Custom Guitars and two from Warmoth now. I'll most likely stick with Warmoth, since I absolutely love the two I have.
 
what websites are those? Sweet water , fender, ovation and reverend seem ok. Just look for the spec sections

I think second-market sellers you find on Reverb often don't know. Many bought the guitar at retail and it "felt right". When they put it up for re-sale, they don't think about the thing they haven't been paying attention to.
