As has been discussed in earlier /sfg/ threads, the Shuttle (and thus SLS), the H-II, and the Ariane V were all products of the same era in rocket design where MOAR HYDROLOGS :DDDD was the order of the day but they needed SRBs to get them off the ground. I actually admire the Delta IV Heavy for tripling down on MAGZIMUM HYDROLOGS :DDDDD rather than needing SRBs... but of course the new downside of hydrolox first stages is you can't reuse them for shit.
