If LEGO were to make greek sets and include 11-tall column elements,

with the typical vertical grooves ... making them even less useful

as well go whole hog and quite decorative.

The technical term is fluted (?)

I agree. And make them thicker in the middle than at the ends, for
authentic scale models.

(the problem being of course that that's used for perspective views
looking up from the bottom of the temple, so not quite appropriate for
scale models)
