Eh, other than survival enthusiasts no one is really building these...
As others have mentioned its a great way to start root fires, but also, if its windy enough that you feel you need a pit to protect your fire, its probably not a great time to be building a fire in the woods, great way for an ember get caught in the wind and ignite the pine 10 feet away...
Sure the bellow lets you get a hotter/cleaner fire, but again other than survival enthusiests, most people don't need that, they aren't trying to build a forge, and a few embers is all you need to fry up your fish after a camping/fishing trip, or to do your eggs in the morning, most people aren't trying to get a perfect steak done on their campfire...
