Question - Model A and Deuce Frames

Why don't the majority of the hot rod Model A frames have cross members like the majority of the Deuce frames...

Is it a space issue within the confines of the perimeter rails?

The A frames look much much too weak for even the most moderate V-8 horsepower?

My A frame does:
