My experience is nowhere as extensive as yours, but mirrors it. Wild caught captives generally do not bite. Not even the youngsters. But every CB one I have ever had except for one bit the snot out of me on a very regular basis, even as adults and after feeding!. I suppose with lots of handling one could do away with that behavior. The problem is that many snake keepers keep too many snakes to deal with them that way.
