Question Bracket theory

From what I can tell, all the (flotation) brackets all have centrally mounted flotation volumes. And no flotation out at the edges.

It seems like at rest, some flotation under the wide swim platform would help lift the outboard out of the water even more. Why isn't this done? Is the issue making the boat roll in a sea that was coming at an angle to the stern?

Or is there some other reason, like practical construction issues, or something else?
