The mistake would be to believe that there is no buyer for a Cursed hauberk -1 nowadays. Just because some people don't sell them off the bat for a high price doesn't mean there aren't people ready to pay 1-2M less.
Following this logic, there is no reason not to craft Hauberk -1. So the "ask the classic high level smithers of your server" answer makes perfect sense.
