My thought is that most people like their 3 and 5 woods...because the club is shorter and has more loft, golfers can control the club and add accuracy. Confidence = distance. With more mass, the 20 degree driver could fill that confidence mystery people are lacking!

If you had a 20 degree driver you could also chock down and hit the club off the deck like a 3 wood...so there would be no need for a 3 wood and you could add an extra hybrid or wedge depending on your preference.
To hit the 20* driver off the deck effectively, the sweet spot would have to be lower on the face than most of today's drivers, probably even lower than the Cleveland Hi-Bore. But a combo driver/fairway wood is not a bad idea. The first youth set we bought my son had a "combo" wood made for driving and fairways, and I believe it was around 16* of 17*.
