Why can't they go side to side?

I suppose up and down is better. If they went side to side I'd be knocked unconscious. Then I'd believe in conspiracy theories

Why does the whole window need to open in the first place? You only need so much.

This should make it harder for air to get past because it has to "unroll" a little bit instead of just being pushed away from the glass by an air stream along the seal.

One of the complaints about early frameless designs were rattling windows, and this would also be helped by having a constant cushion of rubber tight against it.

Mine still creak and rattle a little, especially when the chassis is being flexed, like turning over a bump. It’s another charming “feature” of the twins.
My advice to the OP, don’t treat these doors like normal framed doors. Let the window do it’s little roll down before pulling the door open. And be aware in icy conditions it can get stuck.
I love how frameless doors look, but sometimes I wish they just went with a traditional door. But then you lose the sexy side profile swoop along the roofline.

What is a window anyway?Does a window really exist outside the Matrix?

Can you also tell why the wheels go round and round?

If the window goes down in the middle of a forest with no one around, how was the woodchuck able to have his cake and eat it too?

I don't know much about woodchucks but I do know that bears shit in the woods unless there's an applebees parking lot available.

How am I supposed to get my McWendys tripleMacBigHeartAttack burger and extra giant drink through that puny opening?

It's designed to use up whatever juice that's left in a dying battery...
