Those polygons are a worst-case scenario for MonotoneChains, and they are a sub-optimal case for sweepline as well. So maybe not surprising you are seeing a n^2 count.
There doesn't seem much point in working to optimize such an artificial case, especially if it will impact code complexity or performance for the "average" case. But it's hard to speculate without a working demonstration of a potential improvement.
