And a trailer would be able to fit so much more than a pannier.
Not everyone needs a double pannier's worth of stuff, and not everyone likes to have the bulk of weight on the rear wheel. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that Fern's use of smaller bags on the rear triangle is intentional.
"A rear rack is fitted to suit some specially-designed drybags β also made by Fern. Dry bags can be optionally strapped-on, providing extra luggage space without requiring a cargo cage to keep everything in check. "
