Then don't buy them?
It's not about why. If it was we wouldn't have X Metals, Splice, Plate, OTT, etc.

I just puchased the Polished Black Tinfoil/Black Iridium Polar. The frames in this flavor are very nice and actually have a combination of colors not shown on the Oakley website. The front (top) of the frame and outer arm finish is polished black but the front lower frame around the lenses is chrome which sets them off for a nice classic look. (IMO) Most of inside of the frame (including the arms) and inside around the lenses is finished in a very nice matte champagne finish. I checked out all of the other frames and thought this one was the best looking. Other frame options are matte or satin finish.I only tried on a TinFoil (non-Carbon), but they really felt awesome. Light but had strength. Looked good on me and fit well even with my big head. Kind of wished I'd gone with them instead of the more conservative looking New Square Wire II. Thinking maybe something cheap or mismarked will end up on the Bay at some point and I'll give it a try.
The reason the Slivers don't fold at the nose bridge is because a hinge there would allow too much opportunity for flex that would compromise optical integrity. Frames are designed to flex primarily at the stems instead of the bridge in order to reduce flex between lenses, as that causes visual distortion. Lenses are cut for specific frames for the ideal optical center, and that gets lost if they flex too much between lenses.
Just because they did it doesn't mean it works... At least not to Oakley specs.Ray Ban did it...

"Oh hey, look Oakley doing something different"But Oakley lenses have xyz optics so there is no distortion at all so I find that just an excuse from Oakley.
