Andersen Aluminum Ultimate Hitch Redesigned

What would happen if all of the "faults", i.e., bed deflection, non-locking handle, incorrect/incomplete stress tests, and gross weight carrying capacity (there may be more which haven't been thought of yet), of the Andersen were corrected? You would be left with a light weight hitch, easily installed and removed, with virtually no moving parts and occupying minimal storage space (mine is leaned up on its side against a wall in a metal storage shed). What then would become of the Companions, the Patriots, the Reeses and all the rest, other than perhaps, sliders?

Things that upset the old order are often met with stiff resistance from the entrenched; the Andersen is no different.
