Yeah. The edge transport sop and resample for me. The problem is that the resample sop comes by default with resampling point toggle turned on. So people just think of as that sop that resamples points. But if you just turn it off and turn on the curve u attribute you just get the curve u attribute without resampling the curve.
The "distance along curve" node which is also an appropriate alias for the "edge transport"(Which is a more nerdy name) node can do the job as well

Posting here the final solution to this issue for future reference

From SideFX support

I've updated Labs Tree Trunk, Tree Branch, and Tree Leaf Generator SOPs to apply the tag to both points and primitives. So if someone wants to choose between points or prims for the tag, they have both options.
