Technic axles do allow very stable columns.
I can imagine appreciating the 11-tall column elements for
their smoothness (rather than having their clean lines interrupted
every brick-height) .... but having a bunch of 2x2x1 rounds would
be much more flexible in terms of building OTHER things.
If LEGO were to make greek sets and include 11-tall column elements,
I'd want the columns to be grooved (what's the fancy term for this?)
with the typical vertical grooves ... making them even less useful
in other contexts. If they're gonna make them POOPy, might
as well go whole hog and quite decorative.
