There are plenty of games that have one side castling followed by a checkmate move by the other

Not realistically possible in a normal match.

IM Eric Rosen delivered a checkmate via castle here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UxZc7ZF2uOY&feature=youtu.be

Surprisingly the mate was given via the rook attacking the king vertically down the F-file

I surmise the better players castle early if they can, and if they can't, they don't let their king wander all the way to the opponent's home row. I had a castling checkmate against an easy bot, but reviewing the transcript I see that I could have won much earlier on in the game.

Sure, no problem. It was yesterday, I'll post it as soon as I figure out how.
