As a technician, I have no problem with simplicity of design and ease of manufacture/repair and, if the result is an aeroplane with an operational record and scope for development like the Bf109, then bring it on.
On reflection, perhaps "irony" would have been a better choice of word, when their focus on mass-production results in the manufacture of 3 aeroplanes, Apparently it flew like it looked. (It wouldn't surprise me if the wings could be stowed inside the fuselage for transportation).
