I don't really mind the visualization, but it does make more sense compared to 21/22.
I don't like single coils in the neck, most tend to sound anemic. Humbuckers are cool, but not like on LP's or SG's. Being back a bit they get a bit more attack, makes things clearer especially with higher gain, more shred oriented tones.

I prefer 24 fret guitars. The additional two notes are (occasionally) useful if you want to transpose a part up an octave and the extra space is nice even when playing lower notes. I used to buy into the notion that a neck pickup would sound bad on a 24 fret instrument but then I played some and it was a non-issue. Five of my ten electric guitars are 24 fret instruments.
Didn't know that! Now I understand why I could use more gain on it compared to LPs without it getting muddy. Never had both with exactly the same pickup, so I always attributed that to pickups, or just thought it was an "SG thing". Also never really had an SG with the same pickups as a 24 fret shredder to compare . Will factor that in from now on.
I prefer the sound of a neck pickup on a 21 or 22 fret guitar.
That said, I don’t know how PRS did it, but the Vintage Bass sounds great in the neck position of my CE-24. Perhaps they tuned the resonant peak to give it a 22 fret-esque sound?

I just can’t get over the way the neck pickup sounds on a 24 fret guitar. My ear is just tuned to the way it sounds with the placement on a 21/22 fret guitar. It’s a shame, because functionally I like the 24 fret better for the full two octaves.
