Yes, the lack of foresight in recording so many great songs for b-sides is bizarre when you look back, although I suppose at the time you never know when the bubble's going to burst.

That said, if Noel had kept them, we would have ended up with an eight minute version of 'The Masterplan' with three guitar solos, a six minute 'Underneath the Sky', a really ploddy 'Cloudburst' with strings all over it... at least he had the decency to Be Here Now-ise his lesser songs.
