Moving parts, risk of damage and a possible safety hazard, and would cost more to manufacture is my guess.

The trouble with those power wall warts is they can induce noise in nearby cables and pedals. And to make matters worse, most power strips don't isolate the AC outlets to prevent ground loops and other hums and buzzes.
So the best solution is to power as many pedals as possible on a board with a power supply that has isolated DC and AC outlets and minimize the need for power strips.
But no doubt you know this and I'm preaching to the choir.

Get some of these. You can find a 4-pack for under $10 on Amazon.

I'd say your first issue is trying to slap a power strip on a pedalboard. Pedal power supplies (many of which are capable of powering even modelers or other high power draw pedals) solve this problem elegantly with just one power cable.

The Zoom is the size of a battleship. It should have included it's own power supply with a standard IEC cable instead of having 13 different button styles and 4 completely different interfaces thrown together on one unit. That (battle)ship has obviously sailed so just buy a strip.
Looking for a power supply is super annoying when you have a situation like this. It's easier to velcro the powerstrip onto the board and move on. I have a strip for my Boss GM/FM3/ and CS7 board. It's not the prettiest solution but it does the trick. Those IEC doublers/extenders come in handy certainly.

My point still standsIts only an inch longer than the GT1000 and the same depth.
You only think its huge because it lives rent free in your brain.

That is honestly a tough one. CIOKS DC7 + CIOKS Crux might be able to do it. CRUX is rated at 12V 2A max.
