I see what you mean. It's not so much that "."0 and ,.&.": display as
hooks. I believe what you are expressing is that the display may be more
understandable (more beautiful, etc.) if it were more symmetric. The
current display opts for minimizing the number of rows.
Current:
┌─ ,.
── &. ─┴─ ":
Symmetric:
┌─ ,.
── &. ─┤
└─ ":
Current display of +/ % #, in contrast:
┌─ / ─── +
──┼─ %
└─ #
