LOL!
Explain how a hiking rack that has the users feet on the rail is an advantage over a trap?
That's easy. With my feet under a strap and my bum canterleavered against the wing edge I can heave my weight around the boat at will, manhandling the weight distribution in a way I never could on a trap and also there is way less chance for misfortune in "falling" forward on the wire. On a rough day with chop and waves this would be a huge advantage.
