The Schroth is actually a dual design of sorts. In a crash it acts as a 3 point, allowing you to work with the airbags; but otherwise as a 4 point holding you while driving. What you are saying is absolutely correct for full harness systems, but those also rely on a cage rather than airbags (I don't think any sanctioning body allows shoulder harnesses with this much angle). As I understand it, using a true 4-6 point system in a modern airbag-only car (i.e. harness bar) is actually less safe than the 3 points because of this.
