Why would a manufacturer put HO/HOn3 on a building kit? Am I missing something? Is it because some yahoo might think they need narrow gauge buildings?

Sounds plausible. But if it's an enginehouse or bridge, the doors, clearances, and track spacing would be smaller than HO.

For beginners, there is definitely confusion about scale versus gauge. They see a smaller narrow gauge train and assume that it's a different scale. They dont realize that different track gauges coexist in the same world.

I mess around some with HOn3 and I see confusion about this all the time. Inexperienced modelers often have no clue they can use HO structures with their HOn3 trains, and will give you a befuddled look when you try to explain they're the same scale. I've encountered plenty of them at layout tours and train shows. They'll skip perfectly good structures (and other things) because they don't see HOn3 on the box.
