These are good points, and we considered them while designing this.

Mainly, we decided that while a single frame is simpler, it makes it harder to really make use of the extra area provided by a hex frame (the picture you've linked shows this pretty well, as pretty much everything is contained in the inner rectangular frame. It also complicates wheel access, which is one of the primary selling points of a WCD.
