From the picture, I don't see anything that will protect the radiator in case of a bird strike lols. That may also explain the heavier rear weight bias vs. other mid engine car.

Mid engine cars have been putting radiators on the side of the car for forever. First examples that come to mind are the Testarossa or Countach. Plus who wants the complexity and weight of running radiators on the complete other end of the car? 🤷🏻*♂️
