Why everyone is concentrating on underground hack when smart inserters can perform similar function in legit way?

Makes sense, this seems like a design choice to me. After all small but surmountable problems is the very thing that makes this game fun.

Yes, this is a good idea.

Agreed.
I'd love to see some modules to put in them as well. Speed/Range would be enough.
