Kolo,
Byzantine Catholic parishes with more young people in them tend to eschew kneeling from my experience more than those in the rust belt with more elderly folks.

I suspect that the kneeling is an example of the influence of Western culture on the particular Eastern churches in the 20th century. You know, everyone wanted to "pass for white" in those days! :)
Today things have changed a bit and I have noticed that converts, who are often younger, tend to be a bit legalistic about such matters.
