I understand what you mean now. You are right, in that sense it is an inefficient smoker.
Most people smoke on the Weber kettle as a secondary use, mainly people buy them to grill on. People accept that they cannot use the entire surface to smoke on since they see it as a grill first not a smoker. They are also very cheap and very durable so they are popular.
