Space is regarded as something that a navy operates in and retro science fiction often uses 1st and 2nd world war battle techniques like shooting within line of sight, dogfights and to an extend ship classes.
It's also disconnected enough from the present to enable people to dream up less uninteresting warfare.

Have both wings pivot around the same bolt, establishing a single, centered stress area that everything can go into, that is upwards and downwards supported.
In this configuration you are just putting so much unnecessary structural strength into something that could easily designed to be way easier on the airframe. Or have no wings at all, like sorry but like the F9.

You can see this is an idea because that would never make it past the concept stage.

Yea kinda... but that would probably discard the whole idea.
