[Avid-L2] OT: Does anybody shoot pushes and pulls anymore?

I remember the days of shuttling through field tapes on 3/4 and I could always find a usable zoom in or zoom out.  It really wasn't that difficult IIRC.  Since I'm doing more online these days I'm always butting my head against the static shot that someone has put a move on, to give it a little life etc...  Don't people shoot zoom ins and outs anymore?  I find it hard to believe they don't exist on the field tapes and if they do why aren't they used in my final online sequence?  I find the moves forced on these shots rival the image quality of maybe a squeeze zoom or the A-51 image quality.  I know I need to order another case of "shut up" and just keep shoveling but really what's the deal?  Is it time to borrow Bob's shot gun?  But do I go postal on the camera folks or the offline guys or both?  Man I need a nap.  Hey you cameramen get off my yard!!!!  ;-)
