What would Scooby Doo!?

Having the shrouds over long would depower the rig, and also make a component of the lift generated by the sail point downward, which would help the blades track better (?).

I can't see what advantage the extremly bendy mast would give. Maybe they're too lazy to put spreaders and diamond wires on there. Or maybe iceboats are so overpowered, they're not worried about loss of aerodynamic efficiency.
