I'm pretty sure this will go over like a lead brick....
I agree with your point. However, I think many people, like me, who are looking at the compact systems are comparing them to a single speaker on a pole, and maybe a monitor, not a multi speaker installation.

If you are a musician who is willing to carry (i.e. getting paid well) multiple cabinets, poles, potentially a sub, power amps, and a mixer, that is clearly the best possible and flexible sound system.

However, if you are comparing these array systems to a single speaker on a pole, in a bar on a Saturday night, which is what many people would otherwise be using, the compact arrays are very compelling.

Like all things guitar and sound related, it's a compromise and you have to pick your poison.
