I really fail to see how and why this would tear off other than in an accident...

I can't speak for the others, but _my_ comments were in reference to the tab on your b-pillar breaking off in an accident. They have the potential to kill you if they do break, as it leaves an exposed cut piece of metal. I doubt you would find a racing body that would log book a cage with those tabs, as they aren't safe. Considering a cage is for safety, those small tabs are going backwards.
Your A-Pillar welds don't pose a safety concern, so there is no problem there.
You are correct that plenty of cages tie the main hoop into the b-pillars, but the surface area for attachments should be much larger. Here's an EVO6 cage (sorry for the small photo) that should give you some idea of the surface area used at the contact points:
