I wouldn't say lazy. Simple yes. These, and other steel bikes like it..(starling etc) are mostly single pivot designs, and designed to be simple, low maintenance. It literally uses 6 bearings, 2 of which never needed replacing. So 4 bearings. Compare that to the 12 in my new plastic bike…

Hydration, yes I did ride with a pack on it haha. It had two bottle mounts. One on the bottom of top tube…bottle always fell out in the top considering where you ride these, and another set under the down tube close to the BB so you could get your bottle full of cow sh!t on the liaison! 😅

Not an option unfortunatrly lol. Exibit A:

the piggyback is in the way. And this is a coil. An X2 in there gives even less space.
