They aren’t that bass sacrificed. Not sure why you think that. They have significant output down to 22hz. In their ported mode the bass rolls off like a sealed box but with more output and excursion control down to 22hz or so. Allowing for in room extension down below 20hz.
The frequency response drop towards low frequencies really corresponds to that of a closed speaker.
Here is a comparison of a HP with second order Butterworth @50Hz.
The match is not quite perfect, since the speaker cabinet provides too little volume for the four woofers, which is often deliberately chosen to make the low bass appear "more powerful" (SPL hump around 100Hz).
So the loudspeaker corresponds very roughly to a closed loudspeaker with an f3 of 50Hz. Where under 35Hz probably a little more sound pressure level is available because of the low BR tuning around 30Hz (if the ground plane measurement conditions were optimal and wind did not affect the measurements).
Looking closer at the ground plane measurement, an f10 at 25Hz is not exactly what I would call "significant output down to 22hz".
If the speaker is placed freely, the bass should sound rather "soft/slim/thin" - which does not have to be bad.

Remember that those 4 drivers are about equal to a typical 14” driver and they have a ton of excursion.
If we assume that the woofers are
SBAcoustics MW19TX-8, then each woofer has a displacement volume of about 103cm³.
With four woofers (Vd 400cm³), this is significantly less than a "reasonable" 10'' subwoofer can provide in displacement volume - Vd around 480-600cm³.
For such a slim and small speaker this is certainly okay, but for speakers with a pair price of $16000 the low bass performance is not special.
