AT Grille Question

Any particular reason why the AT grille is solid? I think the MT's grille actually allows air to pass through it. I see air flows up the bottom of the bumper to the oil coolers and radiator. I really don't see any aero dynamics advantage since the grille area is flat and air will just hit it (as opposed to being curved where the air can flow around it....or open so air goes through it to the engine bay). Just curious if anyone thought this was a disadvantage / advantage for cooling purposes, or if this is something that should be upgraded.

Thanks in advance.
