  1. It would be a challenge to fit pontoons.

  2. on the other hand, think of all the things not there that could now not fail! like, oh, constant speed props, retractable landing gear, de-icer boots, flaps, autopilot systems. there is always a silver lining inside the thunderstorm cloud; it's just the last thing you ever see.

  3. Deicer boots and flaps are SIGNIFICANT safety improvements over aircraft which lack them. I see your point for the others you noted.
