Just to show Usenet is living up to its reputation of provoking
counter-examples, I've got a Russian visa for what they classified as a
business trip, valid for one entry/exit during a 30 day window.

Ah, I think the point you're making might be "it's possible to apply for a
business visa without any of the benefits which make a business visa
useful".

Being able to enter once is useful.

(I bet you won't even believe the visa for Turkey I obtained today was
delivered electronically - much like mobile boarding passes and ticketing,
unpossible!)

I bought mine at the airport on arrival. Sounds like another process
that's change since then.

for the worst, yes :-)

There is a change over period during which either method is available, but
visas on arrive are to be abolished at some point in the future
