Can anybody shed some light on why manufacturers continue to use glass (AGC) fuses rather than blade type plastic (ATC) fuses in gliders? Is there a certification issue, is it simply inertia?

You called it: Inertia.
No need for fuses on the front of the panel.

5Z is working on a nice combo that uses blade fuses on the side of the panel.
A rectangular cut-out to access the fuses in one of these, mounted PowerPoles facing up inside the panel.
