I was myself a bit surprised that they made the packaging tradeoff they
did; I'm pretty sure SuperMicro has chassis with 45 drives in the same
RU count where all the drives are externally accessible.

I guess if your super-architecture makes it not matter that you have 
to down an entire string to reap a dead drive...
