Baffle step compansation in commercial loudspeakers. Which brand did use it?

BSC is built into most commercial loudspeakers. Rather, the exceptions in which it is not included. Then there are a bunch that have varying degrees of compensation built into them, so the story isn't simply black and white.
In most cases, a low-pass filter with an oversized value provides the compensation.

Perhaps, but it's doable..

Obviously it's not common, but it's interesting. The inductor cuts everything moving up in frequency until it's impedance is near that of the resistor. Higher than that, the resistor sets the maximum impedance of that part of the crossover. The response kinks, but levels out again. The tweeter mostly just sees resistance.

In a real scenario you'd have varying driver impedances to deal with which could vary the outcome. Each case is different, but both sections being in parallel is going to offer some potential degree of impedance compensation.
