Cartesian vs delta vs corexy

They are robust in general, cheap delta built with thin arms are fragile. You need 3 good tower axis and you're ready to roll.
It's like having a cartesian printer with poor frame that leads to vibration and other annoying thing.

I'd feel more secure if the the delta's guide rods weren't part of the load bearing structure i.e. have a sturdy latticed metal frame that hole the guide rods. Way more stable...

That is because of the designs and price resulting. No one will ever stop you from wanting to add extra arms as structure.
It's just they want to sell a cheap product.
