Not all taildraggers are landed with the tail low either: The P-51
Mustang was often wheeled on, although some guys three pointed them.

The DC-3 is most often wheel landed.

The RV series (or at least the 6) seems easier to wheel on than
3-point, especially if there's any kind of wind. I learned wheel
landings and had them figured out long before "3-point" (which is
actually 1-2 point; the tailwheel tends to hit just before the mains,
and then you bounce a bit).
