I just find it odd how so many 1 and 2-story building steel frames are built to be essentially theoretically unstable - all joints being nominally pinned. Guess that's what shear walls are for...

I don't think I have ever seen a structure you have described. I have work with and for fabricators for 14 years and I have always been able to figure out how the LFRS of a structure. I don't know where you are located but I would be surprised if structures like this are being constructed in the US.
