S corps aren't a company type, they're a status you can elect for tax purposes.
We didn't automate the process of making that election because we felt it was not a fit for most Atlas users. A Delaware C corporation can still elect S corp status; that's a "talk to your accountant" question.
The primary reason people seem to want S Corps is to save social security taxes by putting their salary in one small bucket and their distributions in one larger bucket. Should we spend time enabling that, when our primary goal is accelerating the number and success of viable businesses creating wealth in the world? That does not sound like it is how we should spend a month of our lives.
I though it was the point here, to reduce such needs? Anything Atlas does can be solved by an accountant and a lawyer.
As to reasons, S-Corp allows deducting losses from personal income. This saves a good chunk of money in the early stages. In fact there few reasons to avoid S-corp until you start picking up serious investments.
