Let me put you an example, to make it more visual.
Pre mill drush is an strategy that can cause a lot of damage and give tou a nice edge. However, if you fail to do damage, you get way behind your opponent due to the investment.
Imagine having a bonus that’s gives you the first barracks for free, build instantly. Or the first 3 militas for free.
Well, this is the same. You mention Britton bonus, but Britton bonus (or huns, or celts) requieres you to build a range/stable/siege workshop. To invest resources, to compromise with an strategy.
Sicilians bonus no. It’s an extra life. Is a "try thid for free, and if it’s doesn’t workz don’t worry z it was for free
It’s more like the biron bonus than what you described. like how you need a range for the briton bonus to take effect, with sicillians you need a dock first. To invest resources.
I give up man. You just don’t understand 11
Lithuanians are pretty close to that. You can guarantee yourself a ridiculously early drush with very little cost, most people won’t even have loom in yet. So commence the quickwalls. 
For what you have to do a really weird BO and suoer difficult to pull off
I’ve heard about winning land maps without building an archery range, but how do you win islands without a dock?
That is why you land on the neutral island and build the archery ranges there. Best strategy

Sorry man, your reasoning died as ashes, the Sicilian TB will be changed next patch.
At any rate I don’t agree with there being a dichotomy between meta and foolishness. Breaking the meta can potentially be very successful
Edit: Oh I’ve already replied to this thread, nvm 11
